I've had a couple of people ask me in the past week about Klout. Some people don't get the benefit of it. It's not been that long ago that I didn't get it, either. I posted a couple of times about Perks that I've gotten from Klout, but today's Klout Perk came in handy, indeed!

We'll start with the box. (And forgive the creative license I've taken with the photos in this post. I've become a bit envious of the photos a friend has been taking with her iPhone and running through filters on Instagram. I have no iPhone, and no access to Instagram, so yeah, I'm playing in Paint.NET.) I was on my way to the grocery store when I found it on my front steps. It was a bright orange box o' goodness on a not-so-brilliant day.

This is what it looked like (sort of; see previous paragraph) when I opened the Klout box and took out all of the packing paper. We'll get to what's in there, shortly; but I wanted you, dear reader, to share the excitement of actually opening the box.

This is a rather large set of Top Chef rubber-tipped, stainless steel tongs. They're lockable, too, 'though honestly, I have no idea how that works. These will come in handy, today, retrieving chicken -- so tender it falls off the fork -- from my crock pot.

This is what I assume is supposed to be the Perk's pièce de résistance. This is How to Cook Like a Top Chef. It's a nice, colorful, aesthetically-pleasing hardback book, suitable for whacking someone over the head with, but also packed with recipes, cooking techniques, chef bios, tattoos, and other fun stuff. This will be useful and challenging-in-a-good-way when I can actually afford to cook something that isn't either chicken leg quarters or pork neck bones.
But the most useful bit of all, today, was the coupon for a free frozen entrée from Healthy Choice. It's not pictured, because it's already been redeemed. That's gonna be a blessing, tonight, when my mom wakes up around eleven o'clock and decides that she's hungry!
And Klout, if you're reading this: Free food, and free tools for preparing food? Always, always an appreciated Perk!
