My daughter developed an aversion to things that have crusts, and when she was little, I'd find loaves of bread with the centers dug out, or casseroles with the bubbly middles gone...drove me crazy! Wonder if she'll be doing that again when she's on her own, when she knows no one's looking...ha :)Robbynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860870861321231048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-67624950723040470102008-07-23T16:54:00.000-05:002008-07-23T16:54:00.000-05:00OMG!!!

That way, it can sit and thicken with less likelihood of burning. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps you'd have to leave the lid off? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, just thought I'd mention it.
