i'm a slave to the awesome power of truffles

i woke up this morning at 4 am and could not get back to sleep. my stomach felt all queasy and upset, almost like when i drink too many jack and gingers. but for once in my life i could not blame my suffering on jack daniels. this time i had no one to blame but the lovely folks at plan b and their ingenious combination of french fries + truffle oil.
for those of you who have never experienced truffles or truffle oil, let me tell you, you are missing out in a big way. i would even go so far as to say that you're life can't possibly be complete until you eat a truffle (or at least something truffled). truffles taste rich, earthy and almost garlicky, and when combined with the basic, comforting potatoey goodness of french fries, the flavor becomes addictive.
i first had the truffle fries at plan b on a wednesday. i returned that friday for more. then a week later i got take out, which was the beggining of a plan b extravaganza that lasted all of this weekend. i'm not even kidding you. friday, saturday and last night as well, when my body finally gave out and protested my newly formed habit.
i'm detoxing now. lots of green tea and brown rice. but i'm not even gonna lie to you and say that it's easy. i am constantly being tempted by visions of not only their truffle fries, but also their tater tots (which taste like mcdonald's hash browns, in a good way), their parmesan fries, and their burgers. oh, lordy, their burgers. that's another addiction in and of itself.
also, their list of alcoholic beverages is freaking phenomenal, mainly because it focuses on dark liquors, like whiskey and bourbon, rather than prissy flavored vodka martinis. they have shit like mint juleps, and sidecars, and also, this ourtageous drink that combines galliano with cream to make a surprisingly accurate imitation of a root beer float.
since it's obvious that i'm not ready to completely kick my plan b habit, i'm going to try to limit my consumtion to once a week only, in the hopes that my digestive system will forgive me that small indulgence. in the meantime, i'll be sleeping soundly, dreaming of truffle fries all night long.

love always
