I’ve been wanting a good set of matching knives for quite a while. I told you I would be rewarding myself for my accomplishments this summer. I told you I had purchased my first reward. Here they are. The cleaver was not part of the set, but I needed one, so there it is.

I actually earned these on the 17th, but I wanted to get the kitchen re-organized before I opened them, and that happened yesterday. In fact, I used the paring knife to make dinner last night. That little thing will mince garlic and shallots just fine. P.S. I treated myself to a new knife sharpener as well. I’m cool like that.

And just so you know, I’ve already earned my second prize. It’s been in my cart at Amazon for a couple of days. I should probably go ahead and order it, don’t you think?
