Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Every time I see a truffle in the store, I stop and ponder buying one. Then I convince myself to hold off -- rationalizing that I should have a killer recipe to use it in first, and some people to share the flavor experience with. It's just too pricey to throw into my basket all willy nilly.
Which is why I'm sharing this foodie dream: MarxFoods.com is having a contest where you can win fresh truffles -- a whopping 1/4 lb. of truffles, to be exact. Better yet, all you have to do is leave a comment on the website's blog by noon on January 26th to be eligible. This is one of those "Why the hell not?" sort of contests. How could you really miss a chance to get free truffles?
Oh yes -- I guess I should share the type of truffles they're giving away: Black Winter Truffles, which you can see in the image above. How appropriate is that!? Good luck, and if you happen to win, I'd love you forever if you invited me over for dinner. *flutters eyelashes*
*EDIT: You must comment on the MARXFOODS website. This is not a Slashfood contest.
