But many a cuisine would simply be tasteless without the flavour of onion. And then think about those vegetable salads that we prepare at home…Will they ever look complete without slices of onions? In order to prevent those tears rolling down your cheeks try the following tricks. Place onions in the freezer for five to six minutes before slicing them, as this will bring fewer tears to your eyes. To prevent onions from tearing up your eyes, light a candle near you. The heat and light from the candle will make the whole slicing session less tearful. You can also wash the onions thoroughly in a bowl of water before you start slashing them. Washing will get rid of some of the biting juices from the onions. To eliminate the sharp smell of onions off your hands and kitchen counters rub them with a paste of baking soda and water. You can also rub your hands in vinegar before and after cutting onions in order to get rid of the sharp onion odour. By Wara Karim Handy hints Keeping closets

By Tahiat-e-MAhboob News flash Restaurateur flies to aid flood victims Star chef of Bangladesh Tommy Miah, flew to Dhaka in an urgent attempt to increase aid to thousands of people hit by the worst flood since 1998. Around three million people are reported marooned in the north-eastern Sylhet region where he spent his childhood. Thousands of villagers have seen their homes swept away by rivers swollen by a month's incessant rain. Hundreds of schools have been closed, road and rail links inundated, and the main regional airport shut for days. Crops have been destroyed, including the vital summer rice harvest, and survivors are desperately short of food, drinking water, clothes and medicines. The Moulvibazar area where Tommy spent his first 10 years in a tiny remote village is one of the worst hit. Another badly hit place is Habiganj where a monsoon refuge on high ground was built as a result of a Scottish fundraising campaign he organised. -LS Desk
