PNW Stuffed Delicata Squash

The Sustainable White Truffle →
I’m surprised the licensing and training of these truffle hunters is so organized. I feel as though it would still be a free-for-all. We had a truffle dinner at work last week that showcased whites from the Piedmont region in Italy.   Haters gonna hate, but shaved white truffels on hand made pasta with just a touch of great butter is delicious.

Waffle House & Risk Management →
jesseddy: “…federal emergency officials even use what they call the Waffle House Index to determine how severe natural disasters are in the South. If a local Waffle House is closed, along with a Home Depot or a Wal-Mart, it indicates a longer recovery process.” - New York Times article “If a Waffle… Amazing.

Tom Douglas, owner of 12 restaurants in Seattle (which include the one of which I work) was on The Chew yesterday. Shared for the fact that Tom said “I like my legs spread” when asked if he trusses his turkey.  Mario Batali pretends he doesn’t hear it and moves on.   Priceless.
