When life gives you crappy dinner rolls, make croutons

As some of you may remember several weeks ago, I seemingly sabotaged a lovely Sunday dinner with the family. The biggest failure, the dinner rolls. They had such potential, yet they didn't rise, and turned our dense and dry. We ate a few token rolls at dinner and due to my loss I couldn't throw them away. Today I opened up the cupboard intending to find mildewy rolls. Quite the contrary, they still had a semblance of life to them, and I figured I might as well try them out for bread crumbs if nothing else. As I began chopping away, I tasted a small bite, and realized these had the best potential in the form of an olive oil, herd infused crouton, the best kind you can find. So there it is, a little dolled up with spices, oil, and salt, in the oven at 200 for an hour or so, and voila, the yummiest croutons ever!

So when life gives you crappy dinner rolls, make croutons!
