Timmy's Present!

Timmy got his Christmas present from my parents today! It is a 10" onion chef's knife by Shun! His hands are so big and knuckly that whenever he chops food, he raps his knuckles into the cutting board! In December, I sent him to a knife workshop at Sur La Table, and he tried out this knife. Apparently it has a special handle made for people with bigger hands like Timmy! I think it's kind of funny that a Japanese company has a knife for men with big hands. Well, when he tried out the knife, he liked it a lot! So now he has it! Look how delighted he is!

Right after he opened it, I realized that he doesn't have to cut anything but ham for dinner! He was sad, so I gave him a carrot to chop up! He chopped it up in a jiffy, and then let me try the knife out. The knife slices through the carrot like butter. Then he sliced a few pieces of cheddar cheese for me to munch on, since I forgot to bring lunch to work today! Funny story is that when this shipped, it accidentally got sent to our old address! I went over to the security office today to explain what had happened, and it happened to be my favorite security guard! She asked where I'd been, moped when I told her we'd moved, and we chatted for a while. She gave me the package without a hassle, since it so clearly had my name on it. Look at the pretty grain on the knife!!
