YUM! I remember indulging in this wonderful dish when you lived in this really cute apartment. I'm sure it was before you were married and possibly in the Mira Mesa area or Del Mar. I remember loving this aged wood shelf that you had which you had painted (crackled). Gawd my memory sucks. I do remember taking this Fettucine Alfredo down though and it had shrimp in it! The freshness, creaminess, and butterness made me a happy fatty!
