Do any of you remember Granny Goose potato chips? (George, Bud?) The only
potato chip I could definitely stop eating after one bite!

Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule
to the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in cases
where it does not fit, is pedantry... To apply a rule with natural ease, with
judgment, noticing the cases where it fits, and without ever letting the words
of the rule obscure the purpose of the action or the opportunities of the
situation, is mastery. -George Polya, professor of mathematics (1887-1985)

I love chips, especially barbecue ones. 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!

Potato Chip Day
Yes, today is national Potato Chip day! Eat some chips! And wait a
week or so and this book will be in the collection:
The Greatest Potatos by Penelope Stowell
Booklist Review
Gr. 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
