Sultanas and Crust!



Today we were at the park for a picnic and I caught myself saying something my babysitter used to tell me growing up. (That's you Verla!) I remember sitting at the table and her always telling me that I had to eat my crust. No kid likes crust! (normal ones anyway) But why did I have to eat it? Because it makes your hair shiny. While we were at the park for a picnic the kids were protesting their sandwiches because usually to cut the crusts off I use cookie cuters. So no, they were not in a fun shape, AND they had crust. Then I told them if they eat their crust, it will make their hair shiny. It worked. Thanks for the long long ago childcare tips, Verla :)



Now to the sultanas. The girls were eating them, and I thought I'd have a few. I never like them unless they are in trail mix. I prefer craisins. But, after two I wanted to spit them right back out. They defenitley weren't these true California Raisins that were grown right in my "backyard" growing up:
