Truffles are hard to find. While you may be lucky enough to find a few in other areas, you'll up your chances greatly by looking in countries in western Europe and U.S. states in the Pacific Northwest. More specifically, search through forests located in Italy, France, Oregon, and Washington. Truffles thrive in moist soil, so search where the ground is often damp and/or spend the most time looking just after there's been a lot of rainy weather. For the best results, search 10-14 days after a heavy rainfall has taken place. Trees that form ectomycorrhizal relationships with fungi, such as beech, fir, and oak trees, must be present in order for truffles to grow, because truffles attach to tree roots. Search for truffles around the bases of these types of trees. Instead of wasting your time digging around every tree that could possibly have truffles growing on its roots, look carefully at the ground to see if there are any signs of fungus. If truffles are present, a "browning" effect called "brulee" will make the ground look burnt, rough, and darker than surrounding areas because their existence prevents vegetation from growing. Look very carefully at the "brulee" areas for small holes. This is a sign that rodents have been digging in the area to look for food. Seeing a lot of these may mean that rodents smelled the truffles' strong aroma and began digging to find and eat them. There are thousands of different types of truffles, most commonly black, white, or burgundy in color. When ripe and ready to eat, they're typically between the size of a marble and the size of a golf ball. While their appearance varies, many of them seem to resemble small potatoes, so keep this in mind as you're searching.

The onions should be translucent, or slightly clear, around the edges. You can add chopped spicy or belle peppers too for a hotter sauce, or finely chopped carrots and celery for a sweeter sauce. If you want a smoother sauce, use only pureed tomatoes. Stir everything well. Heat the sauce so that large bubbles are breaking on the surface, then lower the heat to a simmer. Stir regularly. The longer the sauce simmers, the richer and thicker it will become. Many pizza sauces are sweeter, so some cooks add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar. Fresh basil or rosemary can also add new depths to a pizza sauce. Pour the cooled sauce into a food processor and puree it to remove any large chunks of tomato or onion. This step is not necessary if you want a more rustic pizza in the end. While red sauce is the "classic," there are lots of other ways to top a cheese pizza. Try a white sauce, or simply sautee 2-3 cloves of garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and use the oil instead of sauce for garlic cheese pizza.

A wet surface will dilute the vinegar and result in an incomplete cleaning job. Move the towel over the entire base of the faucet. Make sure every last drop of water is absorbed. Fill a small bowl with undiluted white vinegar. Soak a washrag or old piece of clothing in the vinegar until it's saturated. Don't wring out any excess. Cover them completely. Press down on the cloth to make sure it has complete contact with the surface. Leave the cloth in place for at least an hour. If any vinegar is left in the bowl, pour it over the cloth to further saturate the calcium-coated area. Use the textured side of the sponge. Use a back-and-forth motion. Don't scrub too hard, since this can scratch the finish. You should see the calcium deposits start to come off. Resaturate the rag in vinegar and let it sit on the deposits. Cover only the areas where you still see calcium buildup. Let the cloth sit for another hour and scrub the affected areas to remove the calcium. Use gentle circular or back-and-forth strokes. This will polish the surface in addition to drying it. Continue until no water remains.

Typically, a general practitioner serves as a primary care physician, but internal medicine doctors are also often able to provide primary care. If you require a certain type of special care for a particular disease or part of your body, check with local medical groups and hospitals to see if there is an internist there with whom you can work. Internists typically specialize in a particular part of the body, such as the heart or kidneys, or in treating a certain type of medical complication, such as diabetes care. Internists are not surgeons. Instead, they work on diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions and complications through standard medical practices. Internists are often great choices for more complex conditions, such as chronic fatigue syndrome. Ask what different internists specialize in or take an interest in, and go with one that sub-specializes in something related to your specific condition. Pediatricians are specialists who work with children. If you are looking for a primary care physician for a child under the age of 14-16, finding a pediatrician is essential. Reviews and client testimonial are a helpful tool to gauge a doctor's bedside manner. Look online at review sites as well as specialty sites like ZocDoc and Angie's List to see what others have to say about their experience with a physician. AngiesList.com provides reviews that factor in things like treatment effectiveness, punctuality, and friendliness. It's important to find out whether or not the doctor listened to the patient. Look for comments specifically about the type of care someone received. Keep in mind that people are more likely to review what they consider to be negative experiences. Take comments like, "they kept me waiting past my appointment time," lightly and instead look for indicators of malpractice or poor treatment of patients. If you know anyone who has been to a physician personally, ask them about their experience. Let them know, "I'm thinking about seeing a new primary care physician. What has your experience been like with this doctor?" Large facilities have more doctors and more services. If you come in with a condition and your doctor is not sure what you have, they can ask for an instant second opinion. See if the hospital or office your potential doctor works at has an onsite lab, an onsite pharmacy, and an x-ray department. The more tests you can have done there, the more money you'll save and the more efficient your doctor's visits will be.
