Attention Ebert Club Members and fellow would-be chefs....drum roll... Marie writes: At long last, the highly anticipated "The Pot and How to Use it" is set for release! Containing numerous and surprisingly varied recipes for electric rice cookers, it is much more than a cookbook. Originating from Roger's 2008 Nov. blog entry, it includes readers' comments and recipes along side the Grand Poobah's own discerning insights and observations on why and how we cook. 128 pages, paperback format. Sept 21, 2010 release date. Available now for pre-order at Amazon at a discount.

Q. There was a lot of publicity when a helicopter crashed into an active volcano in the Hawaiian islands while filming for the movie "Sliver." The cameraman and crew were saved only after much danger. When I went to see the movie, there were no shots of a volcano in it. What happened? -- Ronnie Barzell (Chicago)
