The problem is that he wants to move on past OS/2 which is as dead as my
beloved AmigaDOS. I saw a 160 gig solid state drive on NewEgg for well under a
hundred bucks ..... which is both inexpensive and has no moving parts. It does,
however, depend on keeping the magick blue smoke contained internally.

She did mention that it's possible to assemble a British Burger using the
burger menu and sides. But, that would put the cost of a sandwich into the
price range of dinner and a tablecloth joint.

No cinnamon? My local GC does a cinnamon-sugar sprinkle. It's OK, but I druther
have salt.

      Title: Deep Fried Sweet Potato Fries
 Categories: Five, Potatoes, Vegetables, Herbs
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
  1 1/2 lb Sweet potatoes
      2 tb Crushed rosemary
           Salt & Cayenne
 
  Fast and easy to make. Be sure to cut the sweet potatoes
  into long steak fries (1/2" batons). This gets them cooked
  quickly. If you are frying a turkey add these to the
  heated oil once the turkey is out of the way and you will
  get more flavor into these fries.
  
  Wash sweet potatoes and cut into long thin strips, about
  1/2" inch thick. Place in ice water for about 15 minutes.
  Preheat deep fryer. Remove sweet potato fries from water
  and pat dry with paper towels. Place in hot oil about
  375oF/190oC. Fry for about 5 minute or until golden brown.
  Remove from oil and allow to drain. Sprinkle crushed
  rosemary and salt over top. Great served with a spicy
  tomato ketchup.
  
  VARIATION: Add a small turnip and a parsnip to the sweet
  potato for a multi-coloured and tasty presentation.
