Need Anything Sliced or Diced?

I have a new knife.

I'm pretty happy about this tool

which is going to make my life easier.

Right? Right??

This knife first came to my consciousness

because of The Pioneer Woman.

In her cooking section I noticed she always used

One Particular Knife.

Then in January she talked about

her knife

and had a give-away

for 10 lucky readers.

I wasn't one of them.

But I sure was interested in this knife.

However, I couldn't justify the price.

But I sure could fantasize. 

I mean, look at that blade!

Doesn't it make you want to 

chop and mince and dice and de-bone

just for the fun of it?

I guess it was watching

the chef at the Japanese restaurant

with his flying knives

that caused me to start pining again

for this knife.

And Saturday night, when Doug and I

were at Macy's

(NOT the grocery store)

I wandered over to the kitchen things

and guess what?

The Knife

was on sale

with a bonus bamboo cutting board.

Doug made a deal with me

and I now have

The Knife! 

Here I am

cutting a tomato

with one hand.

One hand!

I'm now thinking of meals to make

that require a lot of

cutting, chopping, slicing and dicing.

Ain't she a beauty?

I just need to start doing

the kind of cooking

which justifies owning

This Knife.
