Recipes for fried bread

Yes it's bad. But it isn't toast or bruschetta, so it will do me until I'm bored.

(I'm not sure this the forum for recycling stale bread, so excuse me if I'm imposing myself....)

I've been making croutons for salad the old fash' way, deep-fried cubes in hot oil (none of this healthy drizzling your cubes with EVO for a quick toasting in the oven), and simply deep-frying little triangles of bread, for no reason, other than they're quite tasty with salt and pepper.

Tahnisalata, a quickie hummus

Just thought I'd share for peeps addicted to hummus/houmous and all other variations on the chick-pea dip, but do not have the time to prepare it from a tin of chickpeas, let alone make it from dried peas as I do.

Hummus is actually a chickpea dip without tahini, but in the West we're all accustomed to it made with tahini, the hummus bi tahina (C.Roden).

Cut out the hummus (the fibrous matter and nubby taste), voila, you've tahini 'salad', that is, a creamed dip.

Apple skin pectin?

I am making apple pies and would love to make pectin from the skins since I will have a huge pile. I can feed them to the ducks/ hens and actually have some guilt because they love to race around with the spiraled skin hysterically before eating them.

But I am drifting sorry

Cinnamon toast..,well yeast in general is a comfort food at work
If we are on the verge of collapse we look at each other and say " I need toast!"

It is crunchy Xanax for stressed out nurses, doctors ect..
So tomorrow is a going away for a dearly loved girl

I am making her lemon cheesecake squares

But I want to bring cinnamon toast
We have a toaster

In was given 2 gallons of home made peach and elderberry wine

I can not drink this stuff due to nightmares from my youth
Basement wine +teen+ ski trip= never drinking it again.
It smells each like elderberries and peaches enough that it should make good wine jelly

Anyone have any ideas for bread condiments that have fruity basement jug wine base? It was given with very sweet intent I want to try to use some to show appreciation

Thanks

Fun with mincemeat

Found a large tub of mincemeat in the care home I teach in on Thursday mornings - so, using this in varying ways, we made a selection of different breads:

Chelsea buns, German apple cake, Bialys, doughnuts (baked, of course), Swedish tea ring, large tart.

This is a much under-used ingredient, generally only used at Christmas, but it is very tasty - and always welcome in our house!

Here's the story and pics (you might have to scroll down to Thursday, 23rd August):
