The Story

My sister was having a baby and I decided to bless her with a freezer full of food. I scoured the internet looking for inspiration. I found so many to work with. This was actually the first one she ate after having the baby and the meal train had ended. I happened to be there that day and got to enjoy it along with her. Funny story…her husband was going to a men’s bible study that night and was running late. He made a bowl, ate a few bites, then added more to the bowl and said that he would take it to go. This was not a to-go type bowl. It was the type of bowl you sit at a table to eat from. This completely confused me and I just laughed. I mean, it worked, but why would you take a kitchen bowl on the road. HAHA, don’t know why, but it still makes me laugh.
