Larry requested a pasta with tomato sauce for tonight’s dinner since we both have races tomorrow (Muddy Buddy for him, Mermaid Triathlon for me). I was all for it, because honestly, I love a simple dish of pasta, tomatoes, garlic and basil. I used whole wheat spaghetti and we skipped the wine since I was already dehydrated from a week in Denver.
