Truffles have oil? Huh.

I had some truffle fries in Seattle that were pretty good.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

You infuse a mild oil (like corn) with truffles, much in the same manner you use to make infused vodka.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Or, as Rick Bayless said about truffles, "They don't make things better, they just make them more expensive."

And truffle oil doesn't make things taste like truffles. It makes them taste like truffle oil.

My favorite restaurant in NYC serves a truffled egg toast (made with truffle oil) that is TO DIE FOR, but it's an exception rather than the rule.

Truffle oil in salad dressing? EW EW EW. GET IT OFF.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

he saw his therapist on Tues. We see the psychiatrist today, probably more prescriptions. and we see the therapist on Friday again.

I can't manage getting him anywhere for more than that.

I have really only managed one call to an advocasy group. Hopefully they will call me back today.

Well he refused to go with grandad and uncle and so is pouting in a cube at my work (against company policy) and now we leave in 2 min for my appt with his therapist. good times.

Because books.

I'm sure the doctor and/or the pharmacist probably mentioned it, but remember that any meds might take a while to start working if they need to reach a certain level.

Hang in there, msbelle.

I had some truffle fries in Seattle that were pretty good.

It's one of the better uses. Similarly, I've had amazing truffled tater tots. No. Really.

I also like it used sparingly in things like mac 'n' cheese, and certain types of tomato sauce. But it gets overused, both in amount and the number of things it's in.

Because books.

I've never had truffles or truffle oil. Does it taste like good mushrooms?
