try this: homemade croutons

We went to a restaurant over the weekend and as my kids were stealing all of the croutons out of my salad, I mentioned that I knew how to make croutons. They were thoroughly over-impressed by this. Apparently I haven't been cooking much lately or something. Next thing I know, they'll be saying things like "Wow! You can make toast?"
