I need to post this and proclaim my everlasting love for Daniel, who made me this great lolcat caption picture of Stevie. Maybe I'm mildly retarded, but I swear to you, the lolcats never get old to me. Neither do fart and poo jokes, just so you know.
On a completely separate note, have you ever experienced the joy of making your own croutons? Right, I know. Nothing mind blowing. But seriously, make your own croutons. They're so much better than the ones you can buy and eleventy-billion times cheaper. I used the butt of a loaf of millet bread I made that was a little too dense. Millet hiney. So, I cut 1 inch cubes, threw them on a baking sheet and baked them at 400 degrees until they turned golden. Next time around, I plan on adding parmesan or olive oil. My salads are going to be so happy.

yep, homemade croutons are so much better! i only did that once so far, also from leftover selfmade bread, and with oil in a pan, for soup. baking, and parmesan and oo, mmh!
i'm not usually a great fan of croutons but i assume that's only because the ones in the bags are no good.
yey to eleven billion times cheaper things! i always boast with that at the dinner table when i made something it applies to. makes things taste yet better :)
Mmmm...that sounds good! I think I'd enjoy eating more salads if they had croutons!
Now that I know how easy it is to make croutons, I'll never buy them again. Also, have you seen the prices on GF croutons? Outrageous.
I always call it the heel of the bread. My whole family does. I thought my husband was alone in his "butt" craziness, but it now appears that I may be the crazy one.
I will never tell him of this post. HA!
I think I usually call it the heel, but sometimes "butt" just feels more appropriate. I think I use the terms interchangeably. Pretty much any chance I can get to sound like a 12 year old boy, I'm going to take.
i just remembered that you started a compost. right? is there possibly the uber-compost-website where you got all your information from? how did you figure that out?
Christine-
I just googled "compost" and other variations of it, like forming a question "How do I start a compost heap?" It's pretty basic, although there are a few different methods. One, that Martha Stewart talks about, involves worms to help decompose the food faster. And a lot of places sell barrels, but I'm just making a pile in the corner of my back yard.
