Yet people leap in an happily snap these things up. I saw true excitement in a small rural French market as truffles were rolled out on someone's display and people perused and prodded the items carefully selecting the "best" one, however that may have been decided. My greatest mystery is how did someone ever discover that they taste good.

One of my burning ambitions is to charter a boat and sail around the gorgeous Croatian coastline and explore the many islands. Good luck with your move to Europe Kristin, I’m sure you’d enjoy Croatia – I’ve had a great time both times I visited – a few years ago we had a family holiday on the island of Rab then this more recent trip to Istria.

If we make that happen, we will be heading on our first vacation to Croatia. It's one of the spots I'm bummed I never made it to while living in Scotland/Denmark/Holland! I also want to try this tasty little dish. My fiance and I are hoping to move back over to Europe–this time to Romania–a year from now.
