Evil Librarians! Oh My!

Who doesn't want to read about evil librarians??? Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson is a great read for grades 4-8.  Similar to the Percy Jackson books, Alcatraz has had a difficult time growing up and being different, until he learns he has secret powers and belongs to an extraordinary family.  I can't wait for the movie.  Maybe I could be one of the evil librarians!!!

Crispy Fingerling Potatoes with Pecorino

INGREDIENTS

·         1 ½ pounds fingerling potatoes, scrubbed and sliced lengthwise

·         Olive oil

·         Dry white wine

·         Salt and freshly ground black pepper

·         1-2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary, leaves removed and chopped

·         Freshly grated Pecorino Romano

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a shallow roasting pan, combine the potatoes with just enough olive oil and wine to coat them (there should not be excess liquid). Season with salt and pepper and add the herbs; mix. Cover tightly and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until tender. Remove from the oven.

Turn the broiler on high. Uncover and add a layer of grated cheese to the potatoes. Place on the top rack of the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes or until crispy, mixing halfway to ensure even browning. Remove from oven, add another layer of cheese, and serve immediately.
