I've come to determine train buffs will talk anyone's ear off as long as they would listen. And even if they don't! (I had one gentleman talk to me for 5 hours. Yes, 5 hours. About his miniature railroad creations. All while I'm trying to work and pointedly ignoring him. When I told him I was off to my lunch break, and gently telling him to leave, he actually volunteered to come with me, just to talk some more!)

I've had much better luck with fruit/veggie chips cooking them at a super low temp (like not getting above 200 degrees) for a long, long time - usually about 2 hours or so. One flip in between when the tops start to look dry. Otherwise they are always leathery and/or burnt. This seems to work more like a dehydrator and take the moisture out without the hot heat burn outside and wet inside, at least in my experience!
I have learned the no-experimenting-before-bringing-food thing a few times over, it seems when I experiment at home it always goes perfectly but when I decide to try out a 'really easy' recipe right before I need it I am invoking Murphy's Law of Cooking. ^.^
