Quite true I agree with Evan on this one, how sad, wonder if I have any to 
share virtually, if so, wanna share Evan and anyone else?

  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!

      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
