My aunt has been incredibly generous this year...

First, a package arrives from The Tender Filet, containing 4 6oz beef tenderloin steaks, 4 8oz beef boneless center cut striploin steaks, and a package of garlic butter.

Then, a set of packages from The Swiss Colony arrives, containing Apple Cinnamon Pancake mix, bacon, breads, canadian bacon, buttermints, cheese, fruit flashes, peppermint kiss candies, cremes, fruit spreads, ham, petit fours, sausage, and truffles.

Today? A package from The Swiss Colony again. A set of four very fine steak knives in a black wooden case... International supreme cutlery brand. Each knife a single piece of metal, no joint between blade and handle. I'm not an expert in culinary matters, but I know enough to know that these are VERY good knives. Same quality (and brand I think... definitely same style of construction at least) as ones I've been drooling over for years in Bed Bath and Beyond (though I am quite certain my aunt was not aware of this, never having been near Bed Bath and Beyond with me).

I'm rather stunned by all this... I need to think of something very very nice to do for her in return... *starts plotting nice holiday evilness to thank her with*

My aunt is just plain insane... I forgot to check the mail when I got in earlier. Just remembered to do it.

Got a card from her today too. In it was a gift card for JC Penny... I went online to do a balance check on it. It's for 100 dollars.

I'm just stunned by all this... this is fantastic, wonderful, incredible... but just plain insane too, to spend all this money on me for one holiday. Unprecedented as well. I really can't believe it. I don't know how I'm going to begin to thank her for all of this...

I wonder if there's anything they make locally down here that she would really enjoy... something she can't get up in Connecticut... *ponders* I know at the very least I'm starting with sending her a long, typed snail-mail letter with photos and stuff so she can see where I'm living (and plus I want to show off my boyfriend, she knows I'm bi so it's cool). But with all this stuff she's set me, I gotta find something really nice to send her as a thank-you...

I wish I knew more about what she likes... o.O
