We’ve been lowering our carb intake over the past several months. So we’ve come up with some strange rules about crust.

1. Pizza – don’t eat the crust (any of it, not even on the bottom of the slice) – except you can pick one small piece to eat the entire thing.  This means you have to scrape the and eat just the toppings.

2. Bread – we get a half slice of bread a day – usually at breakfast. If we go out to eat, we tear the crust off the bread and dip just the crust in olive oil and eat it.

3. Pie/quiche – eat the center, leave the crust.

I feel bad about wasting all that crust, so we always bring it home and feed it to the birds.
