Why Mixing Bowls Aren't Flat

One of the wedding gifts that I purchased for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding is a set of mixing bowls. I thought that it was a practical gift that they will get a lot of use from. I thought about some of the other gift choices and I wondered why unlike plates and trays mixing bowls are created to bring ingredients together. They are lower in the center of the bowl to encourage blending. A good marriage is a lot like a mixing bowl. It is designed to bring things together.
