They are not cheap - so I wait for a sale. $1 off isn't much but at
least it's a sale. I didn't ask him to shop, but hubby stopped by the
store after his walk, so it was a surprise when he brought them home.

These were $5.99, down from$6.99. Not the kind of sale that would
have motivated me to buy, but he was shopping and that's what he
wanted.

I've read about them but haven't seen them in the flesh and never
think about them at the right time to inquire. I would guess it's a
good one to use for schnitzel except you're like me and don't fry.

BTW: I made creamed chicken and homemade buttermilk biscuits tonight
using the method I mentioned of patting the dough into a rectangle and
then folding it like a letter. It hit the spot! Thanks for the idea.
