I appreciate your shout out to John Getz. He is very modest and a true master, along with his wife Connie and their dog, Chloe. I was one of the other dog handlers on your OTF foray and I consider myself to be a very lucky person indeed, to be able to learn from them. <br /><br />Can't wait for January 2014.

Some folks are floored by truffles, others are left unmoved. Almost seems like there's a genetic component at work. Don't feel bad about saving a lot of cash next time the waiter appears tableside with a scale and truffle. But for those in love with truffles, the extra charge will be gladly forked over.Langdon Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824455892396013221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-47411756949441664162013-02-04T09:48:42.858-08:002013-02-04T09:48:42.858-08:00There must be something wrong with me, or perhaps ...There must be something wrong with me, or perhaps my taste buds, because I just don't get all the enthusiasm about truffles.

But most people I talked to felt like they got value for their money. And for those who truly love truffles, there aren't many options, barring a trip to Italy or France, to enjoy them in abundance.Langdon Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824455892396013221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-65799336895641229482013-01-29T10:28:53.175-08:002013-01-29T10:28:53.175-08:00Who wouldn't love to attend this, especially i...Who wouldn't love to attend this, especially if you have a grand hanging out in your pocket with nowhere to go!ladyflyfshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715911521612368967noreply@blogger.com
