Mmm, Truffles
Having the day off, I spent most of the morning faffing around in the PPK forums. I don’t go there all that often, because the volume of posts is a little overwhelming and there doesn’t seem to be a way to get RSS feeds.*
At any rate, the forum time was not wasted, primarily because of this thread. I’ve only made truffles once before, years ago, and I wound up getting bored with the scooping and rolling and just ate the prototruffle substance straight out of the pan, but now I’m thinking I should try again. The origami boxes are cool, too, though my fingers are currently so cold that I doubt I have the manual dexterity to fold them properly. It’s hard enough typing.
Anyway, the truffles shouldn’t be that hard to make, and, if they turn out well, they might be good to bring along to the family lunch thing on Sunday. I’ll be bringing my own main dish at any rate (I’m thinking balsamic-glazed mushrooms and tofu, with maybe a side of garlicky kale), so I might as well bring something to share for dessert, too. Plus, there’s no way I need to eat 50 truffles by myself.

*I am hopelessly addicted to RSS and Bloglines. No RSS? I’ll bookmark your blog, but I’m afraid I can’t be relied on to check it all that regularly. Sorry, Jewel Staite. Just not gonna happen. What’s even worse is when a blog I really want to read publishes an RSS feed that, for some reason, refuses to talk to Bloglines. Tragic.
