The best $7.50 I ever did spend

So, Gary and I have been eating the occasional Grapefruit for breakfast lately. Maybe about 3 a week or so. We've been loving it lots but I wasn't so sure I wanted to take the plunge and buy the HUGE bag of grapefruit at Costco (even though it was way cheaper) because I wasn't sure we'd actually eat THAT much grapefruit before it went bad. 


UNTIL, I bought this gadget from Pampered Chef. It's a grapefruit knife. Our current grapefruit loving was what produced the purchase and I was very hesitant. I LOVE kitchen gadgets but I really really hate buying ones that are total scams and don't even do the cool things they are supposed to do. Well, Pampered Chef did NOT disappoint! I went to Costco yesterday after work to get strawberries for Gary's lunch and  they had none, but as I walked past the enormous  bags of grapefruit, I gave in and bought it and hurried home because I was SO excited to try out my new knife for the first time. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It works fabulously and makes eating grapefruit such an enjoyable experience. Let's just say my bag of 15 grapefruit is now down to 7 in ONE day! So, if you like grapefruit too, consider this knife! (Is too much grapefruit bad?)

Okay, I love grapefruit and would totally buy the bag at Costco but what's so cool about the knife? You need to sell me on this thing!

We love grapefruit around here. I will have to go on your word and get one of those knives. I'll check it out.

That's so funny becuae Aaron and I were eating grapefruit yesterday, and we were talking about needing a cool knife to do all the cutting! I will have to look into this!
Thanks again for the recipe!!

I haven't had grapefruit for so long but as I was reading your blog I was thinking...hmmm...I need to get a grapefruit... And it's citrus so you're helping yourself stay healthy with all that vitamin C!
