I love my truffle salt. I ordered mine online and found that different brands contain different percentages of truffles. My jar was certainly more expensive but worth it, I think. I store it in the fridge, which the package recommends. I liked the idea of salt versus oil because it seemed I could get a much longer shelf life out of it.

It's lovely here:

i used to have a farm share and we'd full up our own glass bottles. divine.

really lovely! thanks for sharing.

I too am with running! I always loved baking and definitely cut back though not consciously. Like you, I still bake for special occasions. Running is a great outlet and invigorating. It's also an efficient way to exercise and all you need is shoes so it's a good workout for apartmenters.

well said, bkk!

i have the anchor hocking refrigerator dishes and i love them but they really are not meant to travel. the tops are glass and just sit top of the containter. i definitely recommend a glass container with a fitted plastic top.

oh, blue box mac and cheese w/ turkey dogs (a couple times a year at most)

american cheese grilled cheese (more than i'd like to admit)

cream eggs and candy corn

braised collards for weekday meals and a quiche w/ kale and jarlesburg for easy lunches

I did buy these and they are not noticeably better than the regular ones. I put them on salads but feel kind of like a sucker. Answer: no, we do not need these.

i like the mix of patterns and the use of color. it's subtle.
