Cooking Tips
My thoughts on chicken squares. You know, they’re really, they’re good. More seasoning maybe for me, but back then the Crescent rolls came in Italian flavoring. We don’t have that anymore. Some thoughts on my Crescent rolls. I had used Crescent rolls, which were very mushy. They still worked. I just didn’t have them in pretty squares because the dough on the Crescent rolls are very, they are just flimsy. They’re just like melty kind of. While they still worked, probably if we use the actual ones, they probably would have worked better and we could have made them in pretty squares.
But with that being said, stay retro my friends until we meet again. Bye everyone.
