Don't get me wrong--they're really good and well worth trying--but they've filtered down to hotel restaurants at this point.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Buzz Kill.billjachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260406336065905545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-48243671132581706432009-05-05T14:49:00.000-04:002009-05-05T14:49:00.000-04:00I have never tried the truffle oil on mac and chee...I have never tried the truffle oil on mac and cheese but may give it a try if I think about it the next time I'm at Sur la Table or someplace like that. If you're a Top Chef fan you may remember that Dave from Season 1 made a mac and cheese with truffles that won an elimination challenge for him, so there must be something to it.<br /><br />Enjoyed your post.Buzz Killhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443964019621130222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-45095860177876504362009-05-03T21:55:00.000-04:002009-05-03T21:55:00.000-04:00It's trendy, but it's really good.

There are so many bad mushy or dried out or flavorless versions out there that finding one that lives up to the memory, creamy or otherwise, is worth posting about.billjachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260406336065905545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-47653989213420481512009-05-03T20:34:00.000-04:002009-05-03T20:34:00.000-04:00Classic and a very good point on the ham's neutral...Classic and a very good point on the ham's neutrality.

Cognitive dissonance indeed. I have to say I almost did mac and cheese for my comfort dish, it's certainly up there in my top ten and very few people find a pasta cheese casserole distasteful. I'm glad it's the dish you chose and that you gave us a little background on your choice.<br />Happy Dim Sum Sunday.Big Shamuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297361034783510191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-18893333611130192002009-05-03T19:58:00.000-04:002009-05-03T19:58:00.000-04:00Very nice Bill!

One of the reasons I don't really like other people's mac n cheese is cuz its mooshy. And I can't stanz mooshy!<br /><br />I did a layered turkey meat loaf and mash: http://ladivacucina.blogspot.com/2009/05/comfort-food-for-dim-sum-sunday-layered.htmlLaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.com
