I used the last of my truffle salt this evening on my pasta. Any recommendations for a reputable truffle shipper or a truffle salt. We are at the end of truffle season so I am guessing truffle salt is my only option. So far Urbani is the lead for truffle salt but I would like to try others. Any recommendations?
Truff now make a variety of Truffle-based products outside of their hot sauce range, I imagine they'd be alright (I've only ever had their hot sauces and pasta sauces):

^ literally, just one of my favorite albums of all time. When it came out in the early 80s on Windham Hill records, it blew my mind. I didn't know that music like that could exist and be played by one person on one piano. Same thing happened when I heard Michael Hedges playing the guitar. Happy to have had the chance to see both of them live back in the day. Thanks for the reminder Ric.
I literally just posted elsewhere that his version (seen him live regularly on his December circuits) of Carol of the Bells is one of the few examples of Xmas music I can stand. I could have taken this video -- this angle is literally what I remember most about him -- always tried to get a seat slightly to stage right so that I could see him play.
What's funny is that my style of improvising on the piano is very similar -- I distinctly remember that feeling of "running out of keyboard" at the top and just playing the same riff over and over until I could figure out a way to unpaint myself out of the corner. 😆

Zero She Flies
Al Stewart
1970https://album.link/i/340107757
Example:
Not an album I knew from Al. There is another album other than 'Year of The Cat'? Yup. Simple and layered songs, with some having a Jethro Tull feel.
Yup, there's Year of the Cat, Time Passages, and...uh...
...oh wait, there's the live album.
Okay, that's all I know.

Finally finished the first season of The Expanse!
Oh my gosh, you are in for such a treat -- it just gets better and better. It's not perfect, but it's so superior to so many other things in so many other ways, that those minor missteps are easily forgiven.
Me: watched season 1 of The Devil's Hour -- what a great show, but I need more, like, yesterday.

I made chicken and veggies and beans soup, and I keep adding ingredients, so I've had enough to last all weekend and then some.

Everything he does is worth listening to. Big influence on my (theoretical) style -- I went back and forth on overdubbing, but he showed how playing only the essential music without a lot of overdubbed parts could still work as finished music.
This is worth a listen as well:

Spicy pork and beans. My first ever, with the Rancho Gordo beans. I made it too spicy, but I can still taste the bean broth! It otherwise came out perfect.

... Cyber Security virtual seminar (day 1 of 3 days!)...
3 days?!?!? FFFFUUUUUUUUUU...
Mine's an hour, and I sometimes feel I'm the only one who takes it seriously.
I had a guy constantly haranguing me to help him circumvent security so he could print stuff out.
I reported him.
He doesn't work here any more.

Finished this up last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I can see how it was an unplanned addition to the three-book series, and it does a great job of filling in a lot of gaps. Just a minor issue...
I have to admit I didn't love the last chapter or epilogue. I didn't think the action was particularly easy to follow in the last chapter, and while I like the different writing styles to differentiate points of view, the epilogue was a challenge and requires at least one re-read before the series goes away until Alecto.
Not going to argue with any of that. I, too, thoroughly enjoyed it; I, too...
Spoiler...think I may have missed something, but have yet to re-read, for reasons totally unrelated.

I wonder if they took into account the windflow created by the helicopter's propellers in the calculations leading up to that jump.
