I'm In Love!

My parents just recently decided to start a blog and my mom told me I should post on my blog since it's been over a year since I posted. I said "I live four houses down the street, you know what's going on in my life, why do you want me to post on my blog?" But apparently I don't always tell them about what's going in my life so I need to post on my blog.
It all started about a month and a half ago. I'm in a community orchestra and we were playing at the County Fair. My mom and sister came to hear me play and then we walked around afterward to look at things. And then I saw them...it was like the whole world froze and it was just me and them...ok, so really there was this chef dude who was about to start a cooking show. He was starting off by giving everyone a sample of salad. So we decided to sit down and watch it. Who knew it would change my life. I didn't realize the cooking show would be so long. But it was enough time for me to fall in love. Enough time to convince me that I couldn't live without the amazing cookware he was demonstrating. It's waterless cookware so you don't have to use water or oil when cooking vegetables since they already have natural moisture in them. Since you're not cooking in water, most of the nutrients are left in the vegetables. Cooking at a lower temperature also helps keep in more of the nutrients. I had been trying to eat healthier to help my mental and physical health so I really liked that feature of the cookware. And you can bake a potato in these pans, on the stove, and since it holds more of the moisture in, they don't come out dry. That was a big selling point. Think how amazing it would be to never have to eat a dry baked potato again! So I bought a set...or two. And they are amazing! Look how happy we are together.
There's a lot of other good features about this cookware as well. In fact, I made a video to demonstrate it. There were quite a few people who were shocked when I told them I had just spent a chunk of change on this cookware. First of all, I'm not an impulse spender. In fact, sometimes I go to the store several times to look at things before actually buying them. I'm not known for being a quick decision maker. I'm also cheap. Really cheap actually and good at saving money. But since I'm not really good at finding jobs, and especially not good at finding jobs that pay well, and I manage to end up unemployed half the time...I kind of have to be that way. So in order to show all those flabbergasted people that I hadn't gone crazy, I made a video to demonstrate why I fairly quickly decided to shell out a load of money on this amazing cookware. Here's the video:


When I first bought them I was soooo excited. And now that I've had them for about a month now, I still like them. I still feel like I need to spend some more quality time with them and really learn how to use them better. I don't regret buying them at all though. I'm in love with them. Although, I think we must be past the "honeymoon stage" of our relationship since I just barely put them away. Rather than having them displayed in the living room like they have been since I got them. But who wouldn't want to display such amazing cookware? They're so shiny. And then we lived happily ever after (because they have a warranty forever). The End.
