Aren't we all better off with the combo platter - or many variations on the combo platter? And yes, it's easy to get lost in the details (though we know what Mies Van Der Rohe said... ). Without the big picture, it's hard to make the details hang together in anything recognizable... I love this post!

And yes, it’s easy to get lost in the details (though we know what Mies Van Der Rohe said… ). Without the big picture, it’s hard to make the details hang together in anything recognizable…

I'm partial to red sauces but I also love pesto, garlic and olive oil or, my son's favorite, butter and parmesan. Yum! :) Meg, I love pasta, too, and could pretty much eat it everyday!

Joy peppered with a pinch of pain... it's always that way..... that's life. So true in order to partake in the feast, we have to sample it all.

Definitely bubbly. I don't have the same thing for dinner every night, but I do have the same thing for breakfast, so does that count? Coffee in the morning, tea at 4 pm daily. Seriously, though, while reading this entertaining segue from deciding what to eat to much larger concepts, I had a vision of my life as a plate of pasta--plain cooked pasta tossed in a bit of olive oil, and ready for any topping or sauce that came along. Now I can't stop smiling. It suits, it really suits--I'm a minimalist, I've been through all kinds of situations in my life, and fully prepared to deal with all kinds more. I've a strong preference for fresh garlicky pesto, roasted red peppers, and a generous dab of ricotta, but will eat it any way I can get it, even plain :) Bubbly. Definitely bubbly.
