I’m not denying that hundreds upon thousands of chefs might be right, I assume that they are and were I ever to try some white truffles I’m sure that I would be ruined forever! Just like trying risotto for the first time. But what I always find hilarious is how a truffle adds class to any item. I just finished looking at this list of extremely expensive food items and random restaurants (mostly in New York) the ice cream with gold leaf in it, the $200 cheeseburger in london, the $1000 … whatever. The thing that all of these items had in common was truffles, and mostly white truffles.

The $200 baked potato is topped with truffle slices and is told to smell of “pure sex”. It certainly separates us mere mortals from those who can feel comfortable dropping several thousand dollars on lunch. Hell, I’m still trying to spend $200 on a bicycle. Instead of the daydreaming that I thought would come of the life that would lead me …. well here:

I find myself hoping that I get rich somehow, but never find myself in a state of mind where I think spending $1000 on a caviar pizza is a good plan! I’m sure that I might be missing out on something by being at the lower end of kinda middle-class, but I wonder if those things actually make me happy.

So today’s happy thought is that I can appreciate booking dinner on my george foreman before sewing in front of some Netflix movie that I”m streaming on my hand-me-down laptop, that’s good enough for me
