One Pot Pasta

Whatever is happening, you still need to eat. You still need to feed your people.

So here’s One Pot Pasta and Lentils.

There’s not a lot of fuss.

You can add extra vegetables to it. Or not.

Olives.

Maybe artichokes.

You can let your mind meander through memories of times and people lost.

(And here’s a tip: those details that you swore you would always remember are fragile. They are much more delicate than they appear. They are so tied to their moments that when untethered they begin to dissolve.

And you will wonder if you were ever really paying attention now that it is too late.)
