Also, is that plant actually growing out of your worktop, or is it growing out of something that's on your worktop?
Thanks for the nice things you said about sb_fag_ends. It's really nice to be appreciated. bogwitch and quinara are brilliant at thinking up fun ways to do prompts.
Fruit crisps are cousins to fruit pies! Fill up a baking dish with sliced fruit of whatever variety, adding lemon juice, spices and/or sugar, then top with a loose crumbly crust (I like mine with oats) and bake until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is crunchy. That way you don't have to fuss with making a pie crust, which is the tricky part. It's quick and you soon have a warm fruit dessert. Usually served with ice cream. And it doesn't keep that long - the topping gets soggy within a day - so you have to eat it right away! I don't see a downside anywhere...
The sweet potato/yam is blessedly not attached to the counter, but is an island unto itself. I found it at the bottom of what I laughing call my root cellar, under a bunch of other potatoes. I think I'm going to plant it. It's shown extreme determination to thrive.
Ah, your fruit crisp is what we call a fruit crumble. This side the Pond, crumble topping used to be known, charmingly, as slut's pastry - that's slut in the sense of 'woman with low standards of cleanliness' rather than 'woman with multiple sex partners.'
Anyway, yes. I love crumble. Favourite fillings are apple (obvs), apricot or peach, rhubarb...
Actually, I think I like all of them (except maybe pears. Don't like pears).
We also have a thing called fruit cobbler, which is sometimes confused with a crisp, but has a doughier, more biscuit-like topping. That's the USA version of biscuit. Also good, of course.

Something I ask myself every day.
Congratulations on your nominations!
That sweet potato looks a bit creepy, to be honest -- a bit like a mini crime scene on your worktop :-)
