Truffle oil = overused crap that should be banned on the basis that restaurants should learn that THERE ARE OTHER FLAVORS BESIDES TRUFFLE OIL.

I haven't had this problem, maybe I don't know enough what it tastes like. My truffle experience is low. HOWEVER, Cafeteria makes some mac and cheese that is merely ok but becomes DA MOTHERFUCKING BOMB with truffle oil. For like $11!!! I had some the other day and the woman next to me sent the entree she ordered back in order to get mac and cheese instead. And she didn't even taste it, I think I was in that much orgasmia. It was that scene in Harry met Sally and she was Rob Reiner's mother.

I passed by Arby's and McDonald's, and did not go inside. I am now eating an incredibly juicy tangerine. Go team sticky-fingered willpower.

Anyone here use agave as a sweetener? Any tips?

HA! Is it real? I mean as in not staged?

AFAIK it's real, although some have argued that it was taken with a telephoto lens which makes it appear that everyone's bowing down to the cardboard commandments, when in reality they weren't.

IORelatedN,

A Memphis church that claims a membership of 12,000 will unveil a 72-foot-tall statue during Fourth of July services.

The Statue of Liberation looks a lot like the Statue of Liberty, but the famous torch is replaced by a cross. Instead of the inscription about giving the lady the tired and poor, there are Roman numerals for the Ten Commandments.

msbelle does, or at least has in the past, I'm pretty sure.

Now I can narrow down what fried potato product I want, and it's those damn brie and truffle disco fries. I should take comfort in the fact that I had both brie and potato chips in my lunch, but yet I do not.

There are uses for agave besides tequila? ::blink blink::

Are they aware the Statue of Liberty comes from... France??

Also, I was under the impression Jesus was actually a big fan of the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses.

Yikes!

NAPLES, Italy - A 74-year-old Italian grandmother who bought a sack of potatoes at her local market found a live grenade among the spuds.

“I found a bomb in the potatoes,” Olga Mauriello said.

“I went to the market to buy some potatoes, and that’s where the bomb was. But this bomb was covered in dirt, and I put it in water and got all dirt off. And then I realized, ‘It’s a bomb!’”

Police said the pine cone-shaped grenade, which had no pin and was still active, was the same type used by U.S. soldiers in Europe in World War II. Authorities believe the mix-up happened at a farm in France, where the grenade was plucked from the ground along with potatoes.

To the woman’s relief, police and explosives experts in the small town of San Giorgio a Cremano, near Naples, recovered the grenade and safely detonated it on Wednesday.

::rethinks plan to make hash browns for dinner::

Just take the sack of potatoes and hurl them one at a time into an empty lot. No explosions? You're good. You might want to yell Incoming!

And if there is an explosion, probably saves some time grating.
