Wow, think of all the other things you could add…NIP, for one, and maybe…uh…nip?

Well, mama just thought up a new tip today for making crumbs for your cooking pleasure.

Mama had a large bag of walnuts in the freezer, and she roasted them in the oven: spray with a very light spray of water, and light salt and a pinch or two of sugar and mix well in the roasting pan. Roast at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a nice crispy texture and color.

For the crumbs: In whatever machine you make your crumbs, place the toasted bread or crackers or even store-bought crumbs and add a handful of cooled, toasted walnuts and whiz them up into the crumbs. DEE-licious little snap to recipes for which you use crumbs.

So that’s our suggestion for today. Oh, and you can add fresh toasted garlic clove to bread crumbs if you are making them from scratch.  Just throw it into the whizzer with the toasted bread and voila

Be well and safe and put bad thoughts into the nearest virtual TRASH CAN…in France, it’s the poubelle.

LOVE that word. Poo bell! Sounds appropriate, non? Maybe not the belle part…
