complete happiness.

for some reason, i have been craving, thinking, and talking about making fresh tagliatelli or papparadelle with mixed wild mushrooms. luckily, jules can whip up anything so seemingly effortlessly, easily, and delectably deliciously. sliced mushrooms, fresh parsley, a splash of lemon (a critical ingredient always with mushrooms, according to jules), a sprinkled of crushed red pepper (a critical ingredient always with everything, according to me), a dash of arina's homemade garlic-red pepper marinated extra virgin olive oil,  grated parmesan cheese from our fridge-staple chunk, and hand cut strips of pasta from sheets of lasagna. italians never cut their pasta with a knife while eating, so just pile it onto the fork, and stick it in. 

now i can shut up and be happy.
