When she checked the pot, she found a suspicious substance mixed with the vegetables and water, the English-language daily said.

At first glance it is hard to tell British mother and daughter Janet and Jane Cunliffe apart. But it is not due to genetics. Mom Janet, 50, has spent almost $15,000 on plastic surgery in an attempt to look identical to her 28-year-old daughter, The Daily Mail reported.
"Seeing how attractive Jane is made me want to get my looks back," Janet told the Mail. "Now instead of mum and daughter we look more like twins. I had good genes and good skin, but I needed a helping hand to make me feel better about myself."
Last September she flew to Croatia to have plastic surgery on her nose and eyes. She also got breast implants and had her lips plumped.
After she added blonde hair extensions she said men would mistake her and Jane for sisters.
