And now he's in evidence... under a pseudonym...  :)  But it's nice to
have him back anyway... :)

Did you mean to reply to either of the two above...?  Or just didn't
manage to delete them...?

Lots of work, I see...  :)  Wegmans used to have a variety of stuffed
chicken breasts on offer, but lately I've only seen the cordon bleu...

I noticed in the latest Menu (holiday edition) that they were touting
truffles at one point... dunno where from, picture of a round bumpy
black ball with a slice off revealing the white interior... I'd guess
that it's only available at the hoity-toity Wegmans stores, not the one
I go to (or Williamsport, for that matter, all on the list of the
fancy-stuff-not-availables) anyway....

Is that from bitter experience, then...?  It sounds rather odd (and
probably nasty actually), though I can see where it might sound somewhat
intriguing at a first sight... :)
