My bro worked for cutco yeeeears ago. I have quite a few of their knives and I LOVE them!!!
I also love sangria, by the pitcher. Thank you very much.
How funny! I love the knife I was given. It really is great!
I love sangria! I skip the sugar because I don’t like mine overly sweet. I also like mine extra strong (I’m bad!), so I go without the seltzer. Great recipe!
You should know that i”ve become addicted to sangria lately. And you’re totally fueling that with this!
Well, I always try to fuel the passion for booze 🙂
