A post in praise of truffles

Today was a rather hectic day, made worse by the fact that my lab was not properly set up, forcing me to delay the start of lab (and skip lunch) while I frantically found what was missing. The day, however, ended about as well as a day can when my SO gave me my belated Valentine's Day present:


Oh yummy!
These aren't just any truffles; they're handmade by my SO. From top to bottom we have milk chocolate blackberry truffles rolled in granulated sugar, milk chocolate blackberry truffles rolled in cocoa powder, dark chocolate hazelnut truffles rolled in powdered sugar, and dark chocolate hazelnut truffles rolled in ground hazelnuts. They taste absolutely marvelous.

I've got to be one of the luckiest guys around ...
