ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGood trip. Do you ever make bread crumbs? We prefer not to eat the heels of bread, so I set those aside to dry out, then once I have enough amassed, I pulse them through my food processor. I also add the "dust" from cereal (I only ever by plain ones nothing like Apple Jax that would be too sweet or add an odd flavor to the mix) as well as stale crackers and cracker crumbs. I have too many bread crumbs on hand!
ReplyDeleteOccasionally I will use the saltines or stray left over crackers we have in the pantry that need to be used. We do not like the heels of the bread for sandwiches. I usually will put the heels in the freezer until we have enough to make french toast and will serve it for breakfast or dinner one night.
