So simple. Fresh pasta with tomato pesto and sun-dried tomatoes. Topped with asparagus and generous throwings of fresh parmesan. Straffings of ground pepper of course.

The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves. — Alan Watts

OK. Served with crusty olive bread…..the whole thing washed down with a tall glass of iced water.

Try to eat slowly. Gratitude optional. Napkin mandatory.
