Sadly, this is not a pithy question. Just writing from the Piemonte to tell you that (a) the white truffles suck this year, and (b) the Giacosa family still remembers you after all of the years that have passed, and were delighted to hear that you had made something of yourself! (It is a shame that you could not have heard me describing "food critic for the L.A. Times" to signora Giacosa in Italian!)

The Giacosas are such wonderful people. And anyone heading to the Piedmont would have to be crazy not to check out their B&B, one of my absolute favorite places to stay anywhere. So sorry about the truffles.
