Before I share my graham cracker crust story, I wanted to let you all know that I'm a guest over at Mum and Babies. If you have a chance, please stop by and visit.
Now for the story.
I had gotten the ingredients to make a strawberry pie with graham cracker crust. As the day went on, I knew I was running out of time to make it, so I asked my ten-year-old daughter to do it. She had done it before, so I figured it would be no problem.
A little while later, she presented me with the finished product. "Ta dah!"
I looked at that thing. Yes there were strawberries in there, but the top wasn't quite what I expected. She had taken whole graham crackers, laid them on top of the pie, and scooped cool whip on top of them.
"Um," I said looking at that thing. "That's interesting. What's up with the graham crackers?"
"It's a graham cracker crust," she said. "I didn't think we had enough cool whip, so I did it like this."
Now that's what I call a literal graham cracker crust!
Just what I needed to read on this Monday! Kids are creative, that's for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've got that right!
DeleteInventive and shows where there is a will there is a way even with a graham cracker display.
ReplyDeletelooked at the other place too, but no idea how to leave a comment on it, broken toe, ouch!
DeleteI'm not sure what's up with the comments. I let the lady know that we couldn't comment, so maybe it'll get remedied later. Thanks for visiting, though. And yes, the toe really hurt!
DeleteIt's so coincidental to read this while I'm about to have some strawberry pie. Kids are so creative. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your pie!
DeleteI'll bet it was delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good pie!

ReplyDeleteMy daughter is very creative in the kitchen!
DeleteWhat a great story. Inventive of her.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she'll be a chef someday.
Delete*LOL* That truly is a graham cracker crust!
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed!
Deletei am sure as a kid, that i would have taken this approach also--i remember before i had actually had an ice-cream sandwich--i thought it was ice-cream between two slices of white bread :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love your idea of an ice cream sandwich!
