Not moments after marvelling at this 60 Minutes segment on what Brillat-Savarin calls the "diamond of the kitchen," there was a text message, a pick-up in a car from a place that wasn't our home, and we find ourselves sitting down for a multi-course Truffle Tasting dinner.
Coincidence? ...
I hope not.
