How many things am I holding up?

The pie crust is one complete recipe from the Tartine book. It even takes up a few pages. Does that qualify it as a "thing" to fulfill my resolution of making one thing a week? Maybe not--though some people may love crust enough to look forward to it alone, I've never been one of them...you gotta have a filling to have a pie. Although the Tartine crust is so flaky, it might be changing my mind.

So I won't count crust as a "thing". And melting chocolate is just a step in the Tartine Banana Cream Pie recipe. But after you paint the crust with chocolate, you spread on a layer of caramel...which is another recipe in the book. Thing?
