It was fun. It's nice to have a boss who lets me take awesome ingredients from time to time for no charge.

Dang...... That sounds incredible.
Love the wine selection, must be a dandy as it's censored

Funny I didn't see that. Even funnier is what it censored.  In case you hadn't guessed c.h.a.r.d.o.n.n.a.y

LOL. Didn't notice until you spelled it out.

That could be a fun topic. unnecessary censorship.

*censored*ake mushrooms anyone?

Oh, and Pianoman, that looks and sounds fantastic!

Thanks perch. I had the timing all laid out perfectly. I called for 7 PM dinner time and at 7, the plates were hitting the table and all the food was hot and just off the range or out of the oven. The truffles were fun because the young man had never tried truffles and the last time our daughter tried them, they were not very potent/pungent. Last night was different.

I've yet to try them, and I love some "funk". One of these days.

The best are the white Italian truffles which are around between Mid-October to New Year's Day. If you're going to be in Seattle or Portland during that period of time, let me know and I can recommend placers who will have them.
