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*
