Early Anniversary Present

If you're a loyal reader of Mer's Milepost, you may recall reading this post. I'm not so good at keeping surprises, nor do I like to be surprised. When I want something, I want it NOW! A few weeks ago I told Dan I wanted the Furi Knife set that Rachel Ray uses on her TV show. I am a sucker for kitchen gadgets and thought a stellar knife would get my lazy butt in the kitchen to cook more often.

When I got home from work last night there it was! A beloved box from Amazon and I knew it had to be my knife set. I almost opened it before Dan got home but didn't want to completely ruin the surprise (our anniversary isn't for another 2 weeks). So like the good wife I am I waited for an hour, barely being able to contain the excitement. The minute he walked in the door I grabbed the scissors, cut open the box to find this:


I'm as giddy as a school girl and can't wait to start cooking again.
Anybody want to join us for dinner?

I have the best husband in the world!!

Wow! You definitely deserve it. Can't wait to hear what you cook up. I'm making your pad thai recipe next week - wish I had those knives, too!

YAY -- those knives are INCREDIBLE!

I want the smaller one; you'll have to let me know how you like it.

And I do think it's totally appropriate to give/receive knives for an anniversary. The symbolism is just so -- so, sharp! ;)
