Google.com defines “zest” as a verb that means “to scrape off the outer colored part of the peel (a piece of citrus fruit) for use as flavoring.
I was quite pleased with myself for deciding on “zest” as the last word in my A-Z Challenge postings. Until now, that is, when I am tired, hungry, and just about done in! But “zest” or its adjective counterpart “zesty” means taking the best, tastiest part of the fruit (or the person) and adding subtle flavoring to the dish (or human) at hand.
So that’s what we have here at the last night of this year’s A to Z Challenge…efforts to peel the tastiest part of the fruit, and then throw the bitter, tough, white layer away. I would be willing to guess that there is a person in the lives of every one of us who meets that description, and is just waiting for you to celebrate the tasty part of the fruit that is their life.
Who will you be zesting tomorrow?

Why, Fawn, how interesting this is to think on “zest,” especially as it might be used with people! I’ve never thought of “zesting,” but now I expect it’ll be stuck in my mind as I try to “zest” someone I know. 🙂 And btw, congratulations on successfully completing your A-Z challenge! It was great fun to read each day’s post and while I’m sorry to see them come to an end, I imagine you’ve had fun but are all A-Zed out, 🙂 Have a great weekend!

What a lovely and thoughtful way to end the challenge. I like imagining people as fruit 😉
But you’re absolutely right, Fawn – we must overlook flaws (’cause we all have ’em) to get to everyone’s good stuff!
am 🙂
have a beautiful weekend
