A couple of years ago, I got to meet one of my lovely readers, Sheryl and her husband Warren.
They were taking a trip to Houston and Warren emailed me to let me know his wife was a fan of my blog. We arranged to meet at the Galleria and I invited Sheryl and Warren to have lunch with us. It was fun to meet a great couple, and they were Canadians to boot, so I knew they'd be awesome :)
Warren recently started a new business called VerySharpThings.ca and he generously offered to host a giveaway for my lovely readers. If you or your husband like to cook, this one's for you!
As you all know, my husband does most of the cooking in our house (God bless him!) I love to grocery shop and I love making scrambled eggs, baby purees, peach basil oil salad, lucky charm marshmallow squares, and tortilla soup--- but there's where my relationship with the kitchen ends.
We got a lot of items from generous family members and friends when we got married, but one thing we never got was a great set of knives. We already owned knives so we didn't think to get better quality ones that would last a really long time. Luckily for us (well, mostly for Kevin) Warren hooked us up with a beautiful new set by Victorinox. They make I Swiss Army knives, so how could we go wrong?
Plus, they look fab in our kitchen and let's just say I appreciate something that's functional and pretty.
Though Kevin uses the knives daily for our dinners, I do most of our weekly food prep, and I've come to appriciate them since they make chopping up all of our stuff for the week a cinch.

I chop up various fruits and make fresh fruit cups for Harper to take as a snack at daycare.
Even though the website is based in Canada (the homeland!), the shipping you pay is very similar to what you would pay for other things you order online if you're in the US like me. You can also email Warren anytime for advice on knives if you're not sure what would best suit your cooking needs. He's kind of a knife aficionado and he returns emails promptly.
Warren is giving away one Victorinox 7-piece forged block set (that's a $495 value, folks!) to one lucky Veronika's Blushing reader. All you have to do is go and "LIKE" Very Sharp Things on Facebook and your name will be entered into a random draw. Please make sure you complete the rafflecopter form below so we know you entered!
