i received my birthday present a week early, and i'm doing cartwheels. what is it, exactly?
a 7" henckels hollow edge santoku knife. yeah, one of those knives that cost more than your last pair of shoes - and that you wish you had when you're attempting to slice anything as dense as or more dense than a carrot with a knife purchased in chinatown. "it's the one that rachel ray uses!" proclaimed my girlfriend, who was very proud that she knew which knife rachel ray uses. i don't know if rachel ray actually uses that knife, but i really don't care. the thing is SICK! i love my girlfriend! i don't care if this is a stealthy way for her to get me into the kitchen more often. the knife is SWEET!
i just sliced through an ear of corn with no trouble. i chopped up a parsnip twice as thick as my forearm with nary a "ho hum." (emily1, we totally have to cook with it! no more ghetto $5 chinatown knives!)
it would also look cool if i dressed up as a ninja and went slinking around hedges carrying that fine tool, but i'd probably get arrested. (and no i'm not angelina jolie, so the thing stays in the kitchen.)
yes, my life is exciting, isn't it? anyway, i have another interview tomorrow. week after week. same old, same old. "you have an impressive resume, but we need someone with more experience."
*yawn*
okay, back to the big pot o' stew. and my ninja weapon.
