My cooks are tired and happy, they have accomplished their goal to provide enough goodies to last through the "bowl season." Today my job was to organize the chips, nuts, fudge, candy, cookies, cakes, breads, pretzels, dips, chex-mix, cheese curls, cheeses, meats, and other goodies into the actual bowls we have left since I broke that one microwaving some cheese a day or so ago. Note to self, you can't actually use just any bowl to melt things in the microwave.
My gracious wife and grand-daughter didn't get angry about my stupid bowl destruction either, they knew it was me that was hurt by the lowered snack holding inventory more than they. Not that I need it, they look out for me by using the low/non-fat options when baking and cooking for the munchie king who loves college football so much that he doesn't even notice how much he consumes in that 10 days or so of obsessive gawking and eating that happens at this time of year.
Because I am not a huge fan" of the BCS system, I insist on watching every game I can so I can best determine who should have been in the championship game instead of the ones that actually were. Usually I am certain the system failed us again, I think it should be determined by playoffs. However, I would not want to see the elimination of all the bowl games because this 10 day bowl fest is an important family tradition. My Mom and Dad are equally enthralled by the bowl season and have been known to run out of useable bowls this time of year as well.
Come to think of it, a shortage of bowls may be hereditary, I may be a victim of my DNA! I have never heard of anyone else suffering from this seasonal phenomena, have you?
