Truffle season

I usually leave my romantic life out of the blog, but this is sweet. It's a short story.

I went on a date last night and my date had a bag with him and he asked me if I wanted to see what was inside. Of course I said yes and he pulled out a jar with a really nice black truffle (tartufo) in it, a good size. He said he bought it earlier in the day for 20 euro. I'm no expert but I'm guessing in the states it would go for 150 dollars. He opened the lid and it smelled heavenly.

He drove me home after dinner and said if I wanted to I could take some of the truffle with me. I said I like truffles very much but no thanks, as most of you know I'm not much of a whiz in the kitchen. So he said that this week he'll make a dinner with it for his mamma. As we ended the evening I was invited to dine with them this week on something truffle-infused and I must say I'm quite looking forward to it!

But we haven't had the dinner yet! We'll do it this week hopefully.

If I can find a way to gracefully break out the camera I'll photograph the truffle for you. No promises ;)
