My Dad, for Valentines Day got me some awesome cooking gifts. He got me a thing to put spices in (as a bonus, it is magnetic), a cookie/ice cream scoop, and a amazing measuring cup. Thanks Dad and boys! I love you! See the picture:

Magazines
To add to all my other great cooking gifts, my friends, Elee, Annika, and Grandma Miles gave me a subscriptions to several food magazines. Elee and Annika gave a subscription Cooks Magazine and Grandma Miles gave me one to Food Network Magazine. They both have amazing recipes that I can't wait to try, including a chocolate chunk cookies recipe (from Cooks) and a soft pretzel recipe (from Food Network). I will look forward to gettting these magazines every month!

You'll cut your finger off!
For those of you that are familiar with the Christmas Story, you know that a boy, Ralphie wants a bb gun for Christmas and whenever he asks his mom, Santa, or teacher about it they reply by saying "No, you'll shoot your eye out." And even when his Dad gets him one, his mom's first words when he goes out to play with it are "Don't shoot your eye out." So you almost start to feel sorry for him by the time that the movie is over. I have never sympathized with Ralphie more than I have the past few days.
My very kind and generous Grandpa and Grandma got me a Rachel Ray knife set for Christmas, which I love. Why? Well the knives are extremely sharp, are heavy duty, and have a sharpener. When I unwrapped them, I heard various people in the room say 'Be careful. Don't cut your finger off'!" Yesterday I made veggie soup and told Mom that I was going to use my new knives to chop up the potatoes, onions, celery and such. Her first words to me were "Don't cut your finger off'." A few minutes later she gets on the phone with my Grandma Denning telling her that I was using the knife set and I hear Grandma over the phone saying tell her not to cut her finger off... The night was followed by continual reminders to not cut your finger off by Mom.
So far I still have all my fingers... but maybe I should get a first aid kit for the kitchen.
