Melt....truffles.....

Yummy....verdict on all 6 chocs that we have tried so far...

and yes, i will recap quickly on the Walnut Bon Bon.....so inside walnut filling...with actual chunks of walnuts...yes....we all know i have a soft spot for walnuts...i mean i used to take them (on the ship) from the dinner area to my room in large quantities, so that i would always have walnuts in reserve....love them...great snack...anyway...back to the point....Walnut Bon Bon...great...would buy it again....here is a pic....

Number 2.... Red Velvet truffle.....I think it looks prettier than the Walnut Bon Bon...but taste...hmmmm...i was not so keen...then againim also not a Red Velvet cake person, I was gonna buy the Carrot Cake but lady dropped the last ones....so this one...i would not buy again...but it was not bad....

Number 3....smooth black....WOW....hands down my favourite...smooth (yes, the name says that), but it really was....and deep taste, really choclaty...but not too rich....amazing...wow....no words.....just a pic....

Number 4.....Hazlnut Biscuit Pot.....good....would eat and maybe buy again....nice...less for me than the Walnut, def more than Red Velvet though....i prob would get it again just to have an assortment....def not top of the list though....but i think it looks fab.....

Number 5 Pistaccio pot....now, yes i am bias....but also very fussy with pistaccio.....and again WOW..WHY....combination of chocolate and filled with pistaccio and marzipan.....well..cannot go wrong with that....and i think i might know someone that would 100% Agree with me on that......hmmmm....i might just have to buy them again.....

Last one.....whisky truffles......Man....these are as yummy as the smooth dark...the whiskey is very subtle....love love love them....so yes....i think my top three smooth dark, whisky and pistaccio....now im off to go buy some truffles...have a guest coming and i want some in the house....ill decide which other ones to buy def those three though.....hmmmmm.....here is a pic (and NO its not the same pic as the smooth dark)

So...now im off to another golf lesson.....next blog....hmmmm...mAybe my great three course dinner....or Arts on Main or Prime Circle.....hmmmmm....ill decide what i feel like....cheers for today.....

Podere il Casale

Beautiful place near Monticchiello in the Southern Tuscany. My parents, together with Mutti and Sofia went there whilst Kim and I were in Corsica. They raved about it, stating that it was Swiss owned and they met the couple who owns and runs it. They are actively involved and so are their children. Their food is produced on the farm, they are famous for their Pecorino cheese. They also offer Pizza and bread courses, camping etc etc....in fact i was really looking forward to visiting this place. They have outdoor and indoor seating but i must say the outdoor seating cannot be compared to the indoor hall. The outside is quaint, picturesque and has breath-taking views. There is quite a long dirt road following up to Podere il Casale....its not so easily found. The sign at the entrance is also not too good. Once we parked a beautiful sign welcomed us....let me share a pic... Podere il Casale As mentioned the place was quaint and picturesque with beautiful laid tables....and a fabulous vi
