I believe we all have our moments when we feel tired, overwhelmed or simply not in the best of shapes.
Thing is: what do you do when in these situations? We, food obsessed, needless to say turn to food and I am no exception to the rule.
I don’t know, maybe it's because I am so far away from my own environment, but in times like these I need to remind myself who I really am, where I come from and what makes ME.
Well, if I had to sum my identity up by the name of a dish, I would have no doubts: I am a plate of Pasta al Pomodoro. A good old plate of pasta with olive oil, fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, salt and pepper.
Savory but very basic. No fancy ornaments beyond what’s strictly necessary. Honest. Reliable. Did I mention "Italian"? ;-)
What you see in the picture was my dinner last night. I just needed a quick reminder about my own identity because I was feeling a little lost and slightly depressed. I know food should not be the answer to things like these, but hey! It's still better than alcohol or medicines, right? :-)

The "identity" in that plate of pasta is far from lost & depressed! Looks like you whipped up just the right medication for your crisis. Please call me next time you are in criss...my fork & I will be right over!!!
