Favorite things Friday: truffles

I am, let's just say, into chocolate. And those of you out there who know me well are saying, "Yeah, duh!" That's ok. It's perfectly fine to have certain aspects of your personality on display, as they say.

But what some of you may not know about me is the particular type of truffle. It used to be my friend David's V. Davilan brand handmade truffles. Oh my goodness. Such a delight. Unfortunately David sold his restaurant and the new owners aren't aware of the appeal of truffles. Or they just don't know how to make them.

Anyway. Because David's are no longer available, my next favorite is Lindt milk chocolate. These are the ones in the red wrapping. I use them as rewards for myself. For example, when I'm writing an article, I put one on the corner of my desk where I can see it out of the corner of my eye. When I finish and file the article, I get to have the truffle. Believe me, these little red delights have gotten me through many a deadline.

So now you know. Any of you out there wanting to send me a thank you or reward for a kind deed, here's an idea. For that matter, you need not wait until I do something worth rewarding. You can send a few of these just because. I'm just saying.
