Supper Bowl

 A Bowl Day, a Slow Day




It should be no surprise to my faithful reader that I sometimes have trouble arriving at at idea for for something to post for this little weekly blog. This weekend was no exception.  I spent yesterday immersed in a combined celebration of the Lunar New Year and Super Bowl Sunday. So, that gave me a reason to procrastinate. 

This morning the muse was still not with me. Then I discovered that today is National Football Hangover Day. But, that led nowhere as I don't have a photograph that could do justice to that topic. However, turning to my online subscription to The Guardian I found this amusing, bowl related, article.

Emma Beddington may be a bit over the top. I have never been to Sweetgreen, there isn't one close to me. But, a quick search showed that the one near my granddaughter's new apartment actually has plates on its menu. However, I also searched my archive of food photography and found that I frequently turn to bowls in my own cooking.

So, here is a random selection of bowls, super or not:













By the way, I was satisfied with the outcome of yesterday's game.

Lunar New Year

Yesterday ushered in the year of the Water Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac. Celebrations may last up to 16 days reaching a peak with the Lantern Festival on February 5th. So, this is still a timely post.

Some say that, overall, a Rabbit Year is a time of peace. However, a person (such as myself) born in a Dog Year should expect ups and downs. You can check your own prediction at Year of the Rabbit: Horoscope Predictions 2023 and Personality.

I hope that it will be a good year for you.
