Cooking Post

I never thought I would write a cooking post, because, well, I'm not much of a cook. Take out is my favorite meal. And after my chicken-on-the-grill adventure (not enough coals, coals on one side of the chicken no longer burning so I had to keep opening the grill---losing heat---to turn the chicken around), I was sure I'd never write about cooking. But today, I had a success, largely by chance of course, and I just wanted to share.

I need croutons for dinner, and there were only the boxed varieties (yuck, unless you like chemical flavors) at the grocery store. So I took some soon-to-be stale bread, cut it into cubes, and put the cubes on a baking sheet sprayed with PAM. Then I poured a liberal amount of olive oil over them, topped them off with garlic salt, and popped them in a 300 degree oven. While I was reading other blogs, I occasionally remembered to check and turn the croutons, and after about 20 minutes or so, they were done! They are cooling on a paper towel because I apparently added way too much olive oil, and next time I would add more spices, perhaps. But all in all, I'm quite happy with them and they were easy.

I have a feeling that most other people know how to make croutons, but for me it was a new adventure, and I thought I should share. :-)
