I messed up. Yesterday’s post was supposed to be today’s post. I was supposed to cover recipes on Thursdays. Oh well, I’ll just put this week’s recipe post here.
This is a black truffle.

This is how much they cost (and yes you read that right.)

This is the tool you need to buy if you want to eat truffles. I didn’t bring my reading glasses to the store with me and what I thought was $19.99 turned out to be $39.99 when I got home. The art of eating truffles is very expensive.

This is about $8 worth of truffle.

I scrambled eggs and added just a little bit of shredded Swiss cheese and then topped it all with the truffle slices.
This is heaven.
