The croutons were delicious! Since I made them from sandwich bread that wasn't even really stale, maybe "day old' stale at most, they had a much softer crunch than most of the store bought croutons, but I swear that sometimes you could break a tooth on some of those store bought croutons! They are usually made from a much firmer bread, and probably baked much slower to get really good and dry, and I'll have to admit there are some really tasty ones out there. Just sometimes too hard, too crunchy.
But J LOVED the softer texture of my home made croutons, and he liked the flavor of my home made croutons, as did I. I found the softer texture quite nice myself, as it was still crispy, but without the jaw breaking crunch. This was the first time I've ever made croutons from sandwich bread but I think I'll do that all the time now, since they came out so well.

Hi...I'm alive, and well...
its been busy around here!!! And it looks like more tomorrow, and hopefully things will be peaceful by Friday!?!
I've read the posts, didn't watch the food tests, laughed at the cartoons...etc. Will be a LONG post if I comment on them all!!
I love home made croutons, and the extra benefit that wasn't mentioned was the SMELL SO DARNED GOOD while they're baking!!!!
OH, and my mouse died this morning....so looks like I'll be buying gasoline for the car, mouse for the computer, and there's something on my list for Walmart....good grief I don't even remember that that something is. Glad its written down...
I'm beat, and heading to bed

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 68 out there now with 90% chance of rain. Yesterday was not really RAIN, but more of a Drizzly Adams kind of day. We'll see what today brings.
Off to Dragon Con tonight, but we'll be back each day for a brief period, to take care of all the pets.

I suspect that the store bought are made that dry to enhance their longevity on the shelf.
I had a feeling they would be tasty, I did not think about the crunch factorparityanimal wrote: »

I'm not Familiar with Dragon Con. As happens the only type of Shows I have ever attended were computer shows in the 80s into the 90s.
Have a Good Day

Hi Valerie
I'm not surprised they would smell good baking, Bread in general smells so good baking.
I'm surprised that the mouse died, They are really durable overall.
I'm getting my CostCo list together as soon as I post this reply.
I hope You had a good shopping trip.

A low fat diet could kill you? Oh, yeah! Bring on the buttered bacon!
I believe I would NEVER eat at that restaurant that was preparing the food outside...BLECH!

Buttered Bacon, I would have said Buttered Popcorn. OTOH in the past I have been known to melt a stick of Butter and drizzle it on a large batch of Popcorn. The kernels that got soaked in Butter were so tasty
Do we ever really know how the food is prepared at Diners and Restaurants.
I do believe that the chains have to pass inspection by the Chain.
Cheers

This is what one of my fav. Doc's had to say...in a bulletin I think yesterday. When I read it I wasn't sure what prompted him to write this.....then Roger I read your article. It all makes sense now!
I copied this for you to read. I think if you go to his website you may find you like Dr. McDougall!!
Breaking News: Why cutting the fat and loading up on carbs can lead to poor health.
View this email in your browser
Dr. McDougall's Health & Medical Center
Yesterday's Headlines: “Why cutting the fat and loading up on carbs can lead to poor health.”
The Study: Associations of fats and carbohydrate intake with cardiovascular disease and mortality in 18 countries from five continents (PURE): a prospective cohort study. Lancet: Published online August 29, 2017.
This is a study comparing the health of people who eat junk foods in the US and Europe. Studies done before 1980 - when many populations ate high starch diets (rice, corn, potatoes, etc.) as the sources of carbohydrates (China, Peru, Rural Africa, Japan, etc.) there was no heart disease (obesity, type-2 diabetes, MS, RA, prostate, colon, or breast cancer, etc. in these populations - except among the few rich people living there) - now the source of carbohydrates studied is primarily refined grains and worse: cookies, candy, cakes, soda, etc.; popular in these two wealthy areas of the world - US and Europe; and many of the other counties that now eat as we do.
Moreover, in Asian countries over the past 35 years, the consumption of rice per capita has decreased, and the consumption of meat and dairy foods has more than doubled, as the wealth of people in this part of the world has increased. During this time period, the health of people in Asia has deteriorated, with increases in obesity, heart disease, and type-2 diabetes rising to epidemic proportions.
"Moreover, North American and European populations consume a lower carbohydrate diet than populations elsewhere where most people consume very high carbohydrate diets mainly from refined sources".
"Moreover, in our study most participants from low-income and middle-income countries consumed a very high carbohydrate diet (at least 60% of energy), especially from refined sources (such as white rice and white bread), which have been shown to be associated with increased risk of total mortality and cardiovascular events.42 "
BTW: Funding:
“…unrestricted grants from several pharmaceutical companies (with major contributions from AstraZeneca [Canada], Sano -Aventis [France and Canada], Boehringer Ingelheim [Germany and Canada], Servier, and GlaxoSmithKline), and additional contributions from Novartis and King Pharma and from various national or local organisations in participating countries…”

Hi
I did some walking once again, The temperature this morning was 58 on the news channel and 57 degrees on the front porch and back yard. It was Comfortable walking.
I headed out Yesterday to CostCo for Three 5.5 pound bags of Frozen vegetables, navel Oranges, Gala Apples, Paper Towels, a Protein shake and a package of the Precooked Bacon. The bacon will be used to enhance the taste of The NS hamburger, Chicken Sandwich and Shredded onto the NS Pizzas. I only need a 1/2 slice of the 45 calorie slice on the sandwiches
