Barbecued is about my least favorite flavor of chips, but dill; that's another matter.

This is a great day, but I don't happen to have any in my house at the moment with which to celebrate it. Very unfortunate! Shakespeare's tragedies are as nothing in comparison!

It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti

The Greatest Potatos by Penelope Stowell Booklist ReviewGr. 1-3. Who knew that potato chips were invented in an attempt to cook the worst-tasting potatoes on Earth? This dynamic picture book is based on the true story of George Crum, an African American fry cook at a restaurant in Saratoga, New York, who, in 1853, did exactly that. It all starts when finicky millionaire Cornelius Vanderbilt embarks on a mission to discover the greatest potato dish ever. Mr. Vanderbilt arrives at Moon's Lake restaurant, and George serves him French fries, and then hash browns, with no success: Utterly inedible! Even the Congress Hall hash browns had more constitution. Down to his last spud, the disgusted Crum decides to give the Commodore something inedible, deliberately overcooking and oversalting. Well, Vanderbilt can't eat just one, and the rest is history. Lively ink-and--watercolor illustrations capture Crum's culinary attempts (French fries stacked in an Eiffel Tower) with creativity. The jokes sometimes seem a bit sophisticated, but the story is fun and animated, the subject appealing. An author's note, a potato chip recipe, and a selected bibliography are appended. --Karin Snelson Copyright 2005 Booklist From: Syndetics Solutions, Inc. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.
