Today's kitchen experiment

The last time we went shopping (right now it seems that Friday late morning is our best time to get to the store), we weren't able to find panko, which are our breadcrumbs of choice, and all the bread we have in the house is whole wheat. So when we decided to make fried chicken cutlets for dinner tonight, T made some breadcrumbs out of whole wheat sandwich bread.

They definitely looked a bit darker than usual, both before and after frying, but they were good, even if they tasted a bit different than usual in a way I found difficult to define. Not like whole wheat bread, exactly. A little heavier? A little nuttier? I think I would still rather than panko, but it was certainly worth trying.

Any other stories about getting creative with food lately?
