I just won a 1/2 pound box of truffles. Oh yeah! I'm talking the mushroom truffles baby! They are black truffles and oh so pretty. One of them is even bigger than a 50 cent piece. I'm so excited. A $2 raffle ticket and I have hundred of dollars in truffles in my fridge right now. Now what to use them for? 
I don't know yet. I'm thinking of some kind of protein plated on sweet/acidic sauce, then light buttered greens on top of the protein and then shaving some truffle on top of that. Maybe some homemade pasta with the truffles shaved on top. I'm not sure yet. 
I was even given about 5 pounds of other various pricey mushrooms and some fresh herbs. About 8 different kinds of mushrooms all together.
Part of them are going to be made into Mushroom soup. I made up some bread that I'll toast up and put on top.
OOOH, that's a good idea on the truffle oil.
My DH right now thinks I'm a dork because I'm so excited.
Congratulations!
I don't eat truffles (except the chocolate kind), but I have seen them often on top of risotto with asparagus & shrimp.
If they are too much to eat all of right now, you can preserve them. 1/4 sherry, 1/2 good red wine, 1/4 chicken or vegetable stock. Boil the whole truffels in that for about 30 minutes, fill into sterilised jars, close with tightfitting lid and boil in a saucepan water for another 45 minutes to sterilise. Keeps for about a year. Use the juice to make sauces for venison or roasts, and you can use the truffels for anything else as well, eg. shave over pasta etc
Saying this in the nicest way possible You suck . LOLOL
Oh I'm sooooo jealous.
Hey wait a minute your NOT that far away.
I have a website on the home puter that has traditional French recipes, sweet, and savory.

Mike
That's right Mike, your not that far away. 
Next thing I know I'll hear someone in my house to come running and only see the fridge and the front door open. Actually, I'd give you one. See, I can be nice sometimes. 
Thanks for the link.
You all have some great idea. If everyone lived around me I'd throw a mushroom party (not that kind of mushroom party!) and have a big dinner.

ha! funny.
I bought lobster tails. I decided to make it and place over risotto and shave some of the truffle on top.
I have 3.1 ounces of truffles left and my DH told me to sell them. Then he told me that he doesn't feel like Main lobster tails 
I hate it when he gets in a bad mood.
Tell hubby he can go have Mickey D's for dinner. I bet you could auction off a dinner like that on here.
Sheesh, tell your husband I'ld be more then happy to take his place. I'm having Chinese take-out.
I'd gladly have any of you in his place right now! At least you all would appreciate it. I put the lobster tails in the freezer and I made chicken with baked plantains and sauted veggies instead.
So who wants to come over for dinner sometime this weekend? I also will be making scratch breads and desserts with the meal. I'll even buy wine or make Irish Cream/Kahlua/Amaretto (yep, all 3 of them together) milkshakes.
AS I eat my store bought cheesecake (no one laugh, I have a right to be lazy with 3 under 3) after my Chinese take-out, I cry further at your weekend menu seeing as how you live no where near me and I can't afford any truffles! And oh the milkshakes...okay I just got to stop thinking about it all!
