A splendid weekend

Capped by this:

- Chop up a smallish red onion, cook til beginning to soften in about a tb of butter with some lemon zest and rosemary and thyme over medium heat

- Add a random selection of chopped mushrooms from the farmers' market (golden chanterelles and something else; maybe 3 cups worth total), salt, and pepper

- When the mushrooms are tender, add 5 cloves of minced garlic, stir briskly, pour in a half cup of red wine

- When wine is reduced, add about 10 chopped San Marzano tomatoes and some more salt and pepper

- When tomatoes have given up enough juice, add 1 bunch chopped arugula

- When arugula is wilted, add chopped parsley and parmesan, eat on orecchiete, contemplate life in general with satisfaction.
