Oprah Favorite Things 2012, How much does Oprah love truffles? Remember her guest appearance on "30 Rock," in which she giddily told Liz Lemon how much she loved saltwater taffy, sweater capes, and calypso music?
If you swap in truffle pasta, truffle sausage, and truffle butter, Oprah's "30 Rock" enthusiasm was not an exaggeration.
She and TV chef Curtis Stone bonded over their love of all things truffle-flavored on her "Oprah's Favorite Things 2012" special on OWN Sunday night, and she included seven truffle-flavored products on the list of goodies she endorsed as holiday gifts this year.
The first recipients of the loot on her Favorite Things collection, which were featured in the TV special and the December issue of O: The Oprah Magazine: 30 military wives and one husband whose daily sacrifices make them as heroic as the spouses they support.
Winfrey probably should have included a box of luxury tissues on her list, in fact, as the military spouses sharing touching tales of raising their families in between multiple deployments and in some cases caring for wounded veterans.
"There's no one in the world more deserving of the day you're about to have than you are," Winfrey told the surprised group, which was gathered under the guise of watching an episode of the new OWN reality series "Married to the Army: Alaska."
Instead, between her chatting with the group -- each a nominee for or a winner of an award from Military Spouse magazine -- about their lives of deployments and, in some cases, the care of their wounded-warrior spouses, Winfrey told the group they were there to receive her Favorite Things.
The audience of ladies and gentleman -- the sole male spouse was 2012 Military Spouse of the Year Jeremy Hilton -- included women like Karen Guenther, a military-hospital nurse and 2011 Marine Corps Spouse of the Year nominee who had helped raise and distribute an incredible $66 million in funds to wounded military personnel.
Guenther and the rest of the audience reacted like previous Oprah's Favorite Things recipients have -- with whoops, hollers, and tears -- and one of the first gifts to universally wow the spouses was a Tempur-Cloud Supreme Mattress from TempurPedic, complete with 600-thread-count Egyptian-cotton sheets from Macy's Hotel Collection of bedding. Total value: $2,699 for the mattress, plus $1,500 for the bedding set.
