Gourmet Food

Caviar - I love fish eggs...I do. I have had excellent Salmon Roe that was a buttery, almost soy sauce flavor...I have enjoyed little bits of salty goodness from Lumpfish...However, I have yet to have the real stuff, meaning Sturgeon eggs. I just read in the Wall Street Journal about California fish farms that will add to the supply, so luckily the self-imposed trade restrictions Russia has on its caviar will not prevent me from partaking of this treat.

Truffles - As I mentioned before, I love chocolate truffles, but I also love the fungi variety. Black truffle over an omelet is awesome (adds an almost muted garlic and robust cheese flavor, at least to me). White truffle infused oil is divine over spaghetti noodles and salmon (available seasonally at Trader Joe's). That said, I would love to go on a hunt for and then enjoy a white truffle that is more expensive than the computer I am typing this from.

Balsamic Vinegar - I dream of enjoying a high quality balsamic vinegar that is so viscous it oozes like molasses. Of course, I would pour it over a nice sweet strawberry that is big as an apple.

BYU Rugby

I went to my first rugby match today, to see BYU take on Navy in the first round of the playoffs. Unfortunately, I had to finish watching the second half at home streaming over the internet, as my youngest had his "I need a nap" meltdown.

BYU was undefeated going into this match and continued its perfect season by defeating Navy 64-12! BYU was the 2009 rugby national champions, and are well poised to be the 2011 champions. I can't wait to go to another match, and still dream of seeing Wales play at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
