What I learned about arugula

While Sara was taking her nap, I madly planted an entire head of garlic, as well as arugula seeds. Seamlessly integrating high-tech and low, I googled "how to plant arugula" and discovered that it is sometimes called Roquette, which almost certainly explains the Hebrew name resh-vov-kuf-tet, which the confused English reader pronounces "rocket," and wonders why the salad's taking off.

Report from the road is that camping is going well. Adventures include bad traffic, successful campfires and sleeping out, Ferri falling in some water and getting scared, Adina falling in some water and getting her camera wet, everyone having a lot of fun. Me, I'm listening to Cecilia Bartoli sing Salieri, which, yes it's true, could be confused with Mozart. Also steaming some beets without a steamer - life on the edge!
