It was almost 10:30 pm tonight when my sister Allison and I sat down for a bowl of rotini carbonara. We put in our full day again down in Harnett County, working through all of our mother's possessions and housewares and belongings along with our two older siblings, as part of getting the estate settled and divided. It was a hard two days and neither of us had enough sleep. With temps around 100°F, spending hours sorting and negotiating and unpacking and deciding in a metal storage building can really take it out of you. Not to mention the fact that it's just an emotional process.
This meal seemed to be just the thing for us, and it had the added benefit of creating the "pasta sleepies" so we probably managed to get to sleep promptly even though we were also pretty keyed up.
