I love cutting up ingredients. Whenever we cook, and my gf asks "will you come help?" and I go "sure, should I chop something up?" to which she replies "yes", my heart starts beating faster from excitement.
There's an absolute sheer joy for me from using a huge sharp kitchen knife to chop up onions, potatoes, peppers, etc. (not tomatoes though, it's messy and lacks that satisfying crunch of knife slicing through hard material, if that makes any sense), and my mind goes to a happy place while I make nice even slices or dices which then I can scoop to the side while I start on another one.
I even learned that quick rotating technique to quickly chop things up, it's amazing.
So today I went to the petrol station, and saw a deal, that I can get the Ferrari of knives, or in this case the Bugatti of knives on discount for 5990 HUF (about 17 USD, or 13 GBP) instead of 14000 HUF (38 USD or 30 GBP) if I've collected a number of stickers after purchases.
I had no stickers...but I wanted the knife so much, and the cashier finally told me "You know what, I'll enter the deal as if you indeed had those stickers", she made my dull day, I thanked her a lot.
So I am now the happy owner of one Bugatti kitchen knife. I've already chopped up some onions with it, it is very sharp and very enjoyable to chop with.
Thank you for listening to my dull day, there's a picture below with my hand for measure, please excuse the dirt on the knife.
