My Wife’s Sweet Payoff

Posted in 7. Other Fun at 11:00 pm by Chef Matt

So many of you have been asking, and I’m happy to finally reveal the gift my wife received from me with the “found” $500.

You all voted. I then tallied the votes. And I was too stupid to rig the results.

First of all, my wife would like to thank all of you, the random readers of this blog who were kind enough to vote for her in the run-off vote which she won handily. (I, of course, am pissed at you all for not voting for me to get a new set of knives…)

What do get my wife wasn’t actually all that hard for me to decide. My wife is a huge fan of jewelry. I knew it would have to be something “sparkley.” However, there was only one catch: while I do know how to cook, I’m not renowned for my taste in jewelry. So as much as I wanted this to be a surprise, I figured why not let her get something she really liked.

After visiting several stores while jewelry shopping with my wife (I didn’t know I would be paying like this as well…) she finally headed off on her own (I had to work) to the Torpedo Factory - a collection of studios of local artisans - and bought herself this fabulous necklace and pendant:

Lovely necklace on my lovely wife.

The stone is blue topaz and the chain of white gold has a few small diamonds in it as well. The total cost? $500 on the nose.

So this story comes to a close. Again, my wife thanks you all heartily for voting for her.

And I would just like to say: You all owe me a new set of knives.
