Holy Panko Batman!!

ok, so it's going to sound so borning, but i'm going to be sharing in my joy of Panko Bread Crumbs today. I've never used them before this weekend, and i've always thought to myself...just because they put a Japanese name on them, they think they can charge more for them...Inconceivable! not so my friends, not so...

 Panko bread crumbs are made from bread, without crust. i think that must mean that they remove the crust, because i don't know how you would make bread WITHOUT crust...but those japanese come up with some crazy stuff!! they are much coarser than regular supermarket saw-dust breadcrumbs...and they actually keep their crisp texture when cooked!! they were lovely, and added much desired crunch to our otherwise ordinary oven baked chicken on friday. yum! AND i found them at bulk barn, so they cost next to nothing. Have i mentioned i love bulk barn? :)

so, there you have it...panko bread crumbs rocked my world this weekend.

on the menu tonight for dinner...watch out julia child!! i'm making your signature BEEF BOURGUIGNON! recipe, reviews and photos to follow folks!

cheers.
