For the past 3 mornings, Bowie has dug this bandana out of his basket & brought it to me. Dapper boy.

Boo. And not in a fun, spooky season way.

Fresh fettuccine with pistachio pesto. If only I had a cannoli for closure.

Reconnected with friends from high school. Rang my cowbell & cheered on TC marathoners. Completing a recertification. Making fresh pasta with pesto. Reading CNF subs. Wishing you all a restorative Sunday.

If you have the time & brain space, you should absolutely try to learn Portuguese.
