WATFORD CITY, N.D. — Confession: On Monday afternoon I made an enormous batch of chocolate chip cookies with Rosie and my nieces, as a result of, as you recall, my youngest wants baked objects to go along with her band performances.
On Tuesday morning I packed 4 small cookies meant for the automobile experience residence after gymnastics follow. By the point we made it midway to high school drop-off that very same morning, the three of us ladies had polished them off.
Yeah, I’ve weaknesses. And listening to my 6-year-old’s dramatic speech this morning about why and the way a lot she loves chocolate chip cookies and the entire causes she needs to be allowed only one extra made me notice that maybe vices are generational.
And so I had myself a great assume on it after I devoured roughly three to 4 extra cookies for dessert that night earlier than my husband hid the Tupperware from me. And I may have been mad besides somebody wanted to avoid wasting me from myself. Self-control is just not a factor I possess at 8 p.m. midwinter, midweek. And so right here I’m…
Confession: I do not know who’s enjoying within the Tremendous Bowl on Sunday. It could be un-American, however I make up for it with my love of cheeseburgers, a great halftime present and an excuse to assemble with the neighbors and eat All. The. Snacks. And so I take part within the custom.
And on the heart of our custom is a specific bread-bowl dip my mother has made for years. It’s been the middle of many rooster wing, Crockpot chili spreads throughout kitchen counters and on the high of my recipe pile once I’m requested to “carry one thing” or “share that one actually good bread bowl dip recipe” yr after yr (principally from the identical pal as a result of I’m assuming he thinks it tastes higher if he by no means writes it down or remembers it).
So I’m going to share it with you all right here right this moment. I’m going to make it on Sunday whether or not or not I watch a minute of soccer to go together with it.
After which, mark my phrases, I begin my food regimen Monday.
