chipping away .....

Today  ( March 14 ) is
National Potato Chip Day ...

Thanks to Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt's
insistence that his potatoes be sliced just so ..
the potato chip was born in a restaurant  kitchen 
in Saratoga Springs,  New York back in 1853...
the annoyed chef had no idea he was 
creating a snack that would become so
universally appealing and
America's favorite snack food.
