Ball 'o Bread

Take one piece of white bread and remove the crust all the way around, in one piece.  Roll the crust string up in a neat cinnamon-like roll.  Eat it in two or three bites, keeping it pinched together.  Pick up soft, fluffy middle of bread and squash it.  Mush it and push it into a dense ball.  Admire the ball.  Eat it in two or three bites.

That was my favorite way to eat bread as a child.

Ha ha! Just a few days ago I was just thinking about the mashed balls of bread I ate as a child and I how much I like it. I also wondered where in the world I got the idea to eat it like that!!! Glad I'm not the only one! Ahh, memories!

Mmm. Me too. Something about the dense bread. I still like squishing dinner roll bites between my fingers to make them more dense.

I used to do that too (except I threw the crust away)! How funny! :)

I used to do that too- not the crust part, but the ball part. I didn't know I was in such good company!

I would LOVE to coordinate getting together with you and the others in Utah. As of now, I'm planning to be in UT those dates, and i don't have my AZ part of the trip planned yet (as in , I may not go there and opt for my parents to hang out with me in UT and DC).

good luck with the packing! I am hating it right now too!
