I used to love when I happened to share a pizza with a fellow crust-averse diner and our meal would end with a full circle of pizza-less crust ringing the empty pizza pan on the table. So geometrically satisfying. But then I met a person who also didn't eat the crust — at first. After they'd had their fill of pizza they would return to their crusts and eat them with butter. It is pretty good that way. I eat crust that way sometimes. And then I met another person who dunked little bites of pizza crust in their glass of red wine. Turns out that's pretty yummy too. I eat crust that way sometimes too. Or sometimes I do both! This is growth.
