Can't Find A Bowl?

Okay, I think I have mentioned that I live with 5 Amazing growing boys in the house and a Wonderful Husband. I love them all Dearly but keeping the house clean and tidy isn't their greatest accomplishment. They do try, just not up to (Dina) standards. Me.... So when I needed a bowl for my chili and there wasn't a clean one in sight, I needed to compromise. I took a paper plate (we keep them in stock here) and just bent the sides inward to create a bowl. Not difficult and it worked out fine. I think of the past when I was stressing about finding a clean bowl and rushing to wash a few, why didn't I think of this earlier. Oh well, at least now I know. No more looking for clean bowls. And yes, I will be getting on to them about their chores tomorrow morning. They won't like me to much but they'll love me later. Has anyone of you had this problem and what did you do to fix it? Photo Credit: Google Adsense

That was very resourceful of you. I've eaten chili on regular plates many times. I'd eat it out of the pot if I had to.

That's resourceful of you. I would probably do the same thing if I can't find a clean one.

Clever solution. In the same situation I would not have a paper plate, but I have millions of coffee mugs and they are great for chili or other things. Of course I have never had five boys and a husband.

Yeah coffee mugs work great. I needed a little more chili that would fit a coffee mug. Haven't eaten all day and I was hungry. So the paper plate/ bowl worked great.
