[July 27th, 2015 [#2]]

On any other day, I would pass by this half empty bag of pasta hanging out in my pantry and not think twice about it, but today it evoked something different. I remembered the Shabbat dinner we had just a few weeks ago — where we had a table full of 7 guests, which has only ever been possible for us here in this apartment, at least comfortably possible :). Everyone so enjoyed this pasta in pesto sauce; tasty items that I rushed through the food aisles of Eataly to hunt down.

Evenings like that one — where we are all in one apartment and able to sit down at a single table that is large enough to accommodate each person so easily — is not a common thing to come by in NYC. And yet, we are here! We made it happen.
