    Agree - a small amount goes a long way. We have a specialty grocery store not far from where I live. If they don't have it - then I'm going to order it. When they say there's a secret ingredient - well this is one of those secret ingredients. As someone who cooks a lot - my mind is formulating all sorts of dishes right now using this ingredient. I can think of several pasta dishes that would be wonderful with this added flavor.

    My money is that they rubbed truffle infused olive oil on the steak... Were I to blind guess.

    Totally. Do you cook Indian food or the like, where fresh ground spice is essential to the art form?

    The chef - who I interrogated after the dinner - said he sprinkled the porcini dust lightly on the steak.

    Not much for Indian food. I have lived in many countries over the years and I like to think I have a fairly educated palate - but I just do not like curry.

    Traditional Osso Buco is wonderful. I often do an Osso Buco style chicken that comes out great. Easy to make as it sits in the oven for hours - great on a Sunday afternoon with football games on the tv.

    I bought some porcini powder today. The specialty grocery store (great store they have all sorts of weird stuff) had it in bulk - you take a little and they weigh it. $27 per pound - I just bought a couple ounces. Going to try a little bit in a beef stew this weekend and then on a steak next week.

    Going out with Herself to meet friends for dinner at a local Chinese place. Unknown at this time what will be for eats, but it'll be good. We've eaten there before.

    Tonight Herself was working late, so a chicken pot pie from a local supermarket was on the menu. Chased it down with a nice Snapple Peach iced tea.

    I've got a pork loin marinating in some balsamic/oil and spices, haven't decided what's with it. Probably some baby reds and steam some carrots or broccoli.

    Hobo dinner?

    Hey. OT, but I watched that film about Bozo Texino you linked me to. It was pretty interesting. Different, but I started it just to see what it was, and didn't shut it off. It was sure some cool production/editing.

    Getting ready to put together a lemon, garlic, cream sauce to put over linguini and will then add 5 or 6 pan seared sea scallops to each dish. As requested by SWMBO. Actually a simple quick recipe that works with shrimp as well.
