with this recipe:
Splendidly Baked Chips
1. Take a white potato
and slice it as thin as you can.
~Make it a Zen experience. Slow and straight,
paper thin slices.
2. Place on a cookie sheet (pardon the expression),
either non-stick or sprayed with non-stick
chemicals.
3. Season w/ salt, pepper or whatever to
taste.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for as long as it
takes to make crisp.
~Be careful. Don't burn, or your children
will be convinced you are a total loser.
"She can't even bake a chip."
Variation:
Use sweet potatoes ~ same as above.
They don't get as crisp but they are mighty
tasty.

I saw the movie American
Splendor yesterday.
Movie theaters are problematic from the get-go.
At the very least, one has to deal with the smell of
popcorn at the ubiquitous concession stands.
And, no matter how empty or full the theater,
someone annoying inevitably finds their way next
to me. Yesterday it was a sloppily dressed,
rather large man who was carrying a humungous tray of
movie theater food.
The smell of the fries made
me weak. Thankfully, he moved through them quickly.
However, the deafening crunch of the potato
chips, his second course, sent me over the edge.
I thought about changing my seat, but there was no place
to go. I stuck my right finger in my right ear to block
the noise. I concentrated on Harvey Pekar and
tried to rationalize that the experience, in particular
the fries, fit in perfectly with the movie.
Still, it's difficult for a food-obsessed
person to move on. Potatoes ran across my
internal screen. First a bag of fries
(with catsup), then a baked potato (with butter
and sour cream - lots of salt on both). I promised myself
that I would bake Our Lady approved chips
when I got home.
Harvey Pekar is an extraordinary character
(both in real life and played by Paul Giamatti).
The movie was incredibly refreshing, hilarious and stunningly
authentic.
American Splendor Rating: 5 baked chips
