O no she dih-unt!

So yesterday I was going through Saturday's mail (what? it's a holiday weekend—I'm behind) and came across a fancy-pants envelope from King Arthur Flour (what sort of marketing ploy is this? I wondered; are they attempting to make me feel "special"? [usually I'm a sucker and that approach works]).

I opened it, and noticed something "handwritten" (I'm getting used to typefaces that mimic hand printing) on the inside flap, and a mention of $50. I assumed it was an insidious way of saying "spend $250 and get a $50 store credit." When I looked closer, however, I noticed the note was handwritten, and said:

 

(That is, "Thank you so much with the wedding")

My friend Heather was married on Nov. 7,  and I helped with the set-up (although I certainly wasn't the one who helped the most).  Oh, and I also performed the ceremony, which was an honor.

There was no name on the gift from King Arthur Flour...Heather, was it you? Was it your sister? Whomever, I am not worthy! Such a generous gift! I seriously considered not accepting it, but.... I will try simply to appreciate my good fortune and the generosity of my friends.

Toward what will I apply it?! One of those cookie-cutter rolling pins? Or should I go whole hog and spring for the stand mixer?? (For the longest time, I baked my Christmas cookies with no electric appliances, and I'm only just getting used to the hand mixer. A stand mixer?? That idea's so crazy it just might work!)

Blog readers, what would you purchase at King Arthur Flour with such a gift certificate??
