THE RELUCTANT GOURMET COOKING COMMUNITY

I got this tip from whatscookingamerica.net:

If you don’t have a supply of homemade bread crumbs in your freezer, and you need a small amount for your recipe:
Use 1 or 2 slices of bread. Dry in oven. Place dry bread slices in a re-sealable plastic bag, and using your rolling pin or a large drinking glass , roll over the top of the plastic bag and crush bread until desired coarseness.

You can use the food processor to make bread crumbs & crush graham crackers but then you have to clean it. I use the ziplock & rolling pin method too.

To chop nuts, I have a gadget that was meant for chopping onions but the blade isn't sharp enough for that. Its kind of like the slap & chop but it screws onto a glass jar.
