Slammin' Sammy

So, how to perk up a *grump* plain old roast beast sandwich on *sigh* boring sourdough white bread with *yawn* just lettuce?

Add some white truffle butter.

My Beloved found a small tub of this heart-stoppingly expensive butter when we went to the Oxbow Public Market and, dummy me, I nearly talked him out of buying it.

Are you sure, honey? Isn't it too expensive? What if we don't like it? What would we use it for?

What was I thinking?

This stuff is pure gold for sparking up sammies, dabbing on spuds, or enriching sauces. I keep spreading a little bit in this dish, a smear on that plate and to everything it adds a touch of class. This stuff could even wake up a sagging sex life.

Blast on down to your local delicatessen and get your own tub - it's worth every penny.
