just like bread, but it was toasted already! Of course some of the pieces had broken in shipping. The only reason I could think of of they would sell it was for whoever bought it to make toasted breadcrumbs, but then, um... why wouldn't you just walk over to the next aisle and buy the packaged breadcrumbs?

 
You open your car hood, strap it to your engine, and it's warm when you get to work smileys/smile.gif

 
I thought it was bad enough when I saw you could buy hardboiled eggs in the deli section

 
It was wrapped up in a plastic bread bag. I should go take a picture of it. And then buy it for

my sister, who hates to cook. She always says "the only thing I cook is toast".

 
I am totally in awe that here in No. CA, the land of plenty and all things growing in season

that our supermarkets "already cooked" food section just keeps getting bigger and bigger. What is wrong with people! I read the ingredients list and it sounds like a chemical lab in the making. As for me and my guy, we buy fresh, organic when possible and always at the grower's markets, even when traveling in our RV.

 
remember when schools had home ec - taught to cook and bake... now all they can do is the microwave!

 
Some of my really smart students

wanted to take the 'Teen Skills' class, which I always thought was meant for the underprivileged kids to give them some access to things they wouldn't have otherwise. I asked why, and every time they said, "because you get to bake cookies". I said that they could do that at home, but apparently their parents don't let them cook. I was flabbergasted.

 
My sister teaches alternative high school and starts baking cookies & freezing

them in October and takes huge trays everywhere. Many of her kids have never had a homemade cookie and are truly amazed (although she says their all-time favorite is still homemade Rice Krispy Treats)

 
we had lots of homemade cooking/baking, but I never had much time in the kitchen---it was "Mom's"

kitchen and she didn't like us to be underfoot. some of my first cooking/baking experience was also in JR Hi required home-ec class. I think it surprised my Mom that I had so much interest in being in the kitchen from then on---I still think she wasn't too happy with it though.
