Tagliatelle al Limone with Jumbo Shrimps

I will be using, though, some recipes I shot in the past few year, and in love with, yet I never shared. But I will try to get this “blogger” thing going by shooting, editing, writing, AND publishing as soon as possible.

I don’t know how they do it.

Rustic Wild Sorrel Salad with Fresh Mint, and Thyme
