:: Dullsville ::

A dreary couple of days at work for me. My latest mini-project is Automotives - I can hardly keep my eyes open...

So it was some relief yesterday to go for lunch with Lava Lamp, followed by a quick trip to Comptoir Gascon to purchase some of their superlative Crème Brûlée. The only other morsels of joy have been Elton John's sweary attempt to get Chris Moyles off the airwaves and today's launch of Firefox 1.0. And in the wake of Dr Rufus' search for the most expensive animal weight for weight, I noted that a 2.4lb truffle sold for $41000 in New York yesterday. That's a pretty good price per kilo, but perhaps there's some other foodstuff which might top it. Incidentally, saffron sells for about $35 an ounce, calculating to around $1235 per kilo. Answers on a postcard, please. Or just add a comment below...
