The inspiration for the name of my blog came from a quote that I read in a fabulous book that Santa Claus brought me "Encyclopedia of the Exquisite: an Anecdotal History of Elegant Delights." Included in the collection by Jessica Kerwin Jenkins was an entry about truffles. "Whosoever pronounces the word 'truffle' gives voice to one which awakens erotic and gastronomical dreams equally in the sex that wears a skirt and the one that sprouts a beard." - Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
I've always adored anything I've come across with the word truffle attached, so here I will associate that beloved ingredient with other things that bring me joy.
