Green Potatoes
A bout Green Potatoes Green = vegetables = good, right?Not when it comes to potatoes.Here's an important piece of information that my mother taught me years ago, but fewer and fewer people these days seem to know about. Green in potatoes indicates the presence of a rather harmful toxin. When you see patches of green in your potatoes as you peel them, cut out the green parts entirely and discard them. What is the green? Actually it's chlorophyll. Not bad for you at all. But the chlorophyll indicates that the potato has been exposed to sunlight. And where the potato has been exposed to light is where a natural toxin in the potato (solanine) becomes concentrated at harmful levels. So, never store your potatoes on the counter. Always keep them in a cool, completely dark place. According to the Wikipedia, deep-frying potatoes at a high temperature (306°F) effectively lowers the level of toxins. But boiling them (212°F) has no effect. Best to stay on the safe side and just cut away the green parts. The NIH website mentions that the potato sprouts can also have concentrated solanine, so those too should never be eaten.

Desperate Housewife
Desperate Housewives
No, we are not talking about the popular TV series.
We are talking about Khor Toyo's wife, Zaharah Kechik, and wives of other former politikus of the Barisan Nasional government, as narrated by Citizen Nades and Terence Fernandez today, titled: RM10m gone in 3 days.
The duo exposed that three days after their husbands lost power to rule Selangor, the wives got into the act – plotting to dissolve the Association of Wives of State Assemblymen and Members of Parliament in Selangor (Balkis) -- touted as a welfare body -- and remove almost RM10 million from its bank accounts.
According to documents sighted by theSun, Khir Toyo's wife had on March 11 -- three days after the GE2008 Polling Day -- convened an extraordinary general meeting of the committee to dissolve Balkis and close its bank accounts.
The following day, the accounts were closed, with the money transferred to another account and then to Bakti – the federal Organisation of Wives of Ministers which Balkis is affiliated to.
Subsequently, on March 13, the former exco members of Balkis issued a notice of dissolution to the Registrar of Societies (ROS), which included amending the constitution of Balkis and establishing a new organisation – Balkis-BN, is among the names suggested.
“This was to prevent the Balkis premises (Kompleks Wawasan Balksi - KWB) and the association itself from being taken over by the new state government,” said theSun quoting an insider. “Once this was done, then the money will be transferred back to the new organisation,” the insider added.
However, the ROS in a letter stated that Balkis' application for dissolution was incomplete and gave it 30 days to furnish additional information.
When that surfaced, Selangor Mentri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim intervened and wrote to the ROS to question the validity of the decision to dissolve Balkis.
Legal experts quoted by theSun are saying that, by right, following the events of March 8, the exco headed by Zaharah should have convened an emergency meeting to discuss the handing over of Balkis to a new exco – with the new president being Abdul Khalid’s wife Salbiah Tunut.
As it is, sources in the state government argue that since Mohamad Khir is no longer MB, Zaharah is no longer the president and has no power whatsoever to dissolve the association or liquidate its funds. Incidentally, the constitution also states that the organisation must remain apolitical.
I am now checking if there are also Desperate Housewives in Penang.
