Crusty

 

What is WRONG with me??

I have everything "pie" on my mind lately.  I've been dreaming of flaky pie crusts, warm and tender fillings, lattice toppings and ala mode presentations!  I've even written a guest post over at OrgJunkie today:  Home Keeping is like Making Pie.  I hope you'll go check it out.

In the meantime, I think it's the crust that has me salivating.  I've never been very confident in my crust-making abilities and tend to use the store-bought variety whenever possible.  But crusts can really make or break a pie, and that's got me thinking of our Small Thing Theme for today....crust in general.

Let's call this: Crust.  The good, the bad and the ugly.

Good Crust:

Toasted bread

Croutons

Pie Crust

The bottom layer of a 7-Layer Bar

The earth's crust, keeping us from being burnt to a crisp by molten lava

Bad Crust:

Dirty socks

Toothpaste around the sink

Milk crust in refrigerator shelf

Dried food on the floor

Noses that need blowing

Ugly Crust:

Mineral deposits in coffee makers

Nasty toilets

The rubbery bottom of jello that didn't gel right

Pink eye

Foot callouses

Chunks in the cat litter box

Today's Small Thing is to do something, ANYTHING, with crusts.  You can choose a "good, bad or ugly" crust activity from the list, or come up with one of your own!  It can be silly, down and dirty, or even edible....just have fun with anything crusty today!  Turn up the volume on the song of the day, "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch" to get you in the mood.

POINTS: 40 tender, flaky ones

What crusty activity will you do today??  Please share!
