            TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________

Today's recipe is so simple that I'll probably be accused of being a
lazy, shiftless bum for publishing it - but I've been called worse. I
made a small batch of these to test the recipe and liked them so much
that I immediately baked another large batch. I have a bowl of them
sitting on my kitchen counter so I can grab one or two whenever the
mood strikes, and they make a wonderful snack with cocktails.

Pepperoni Chips

Italian pepperoni sausage, thinly sliced

Place the pepperoni slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and
bake in a preheated 350F (180C) oven until crisp, about 20 minutes.
Transfer to paper towels to absorb the fat and cool to room
temperature. Will keep for several days at room temperature.
