arugula

For lunch I made a poor man’s version of the same meal I made monday night.

Poor Man’s because I swapped sauteed fresh sliced garlic for garlic salt and broke into my reserve packaged Arugula from the supper party.

THANK GOD I didn’t have to use it at the party.

I had bought a huge pile of fresh, loose arugula from Central Market, which turned out to be enough and then some. The loose arugula was soft, gentle, sweet tasting and delicate:

mmmmmmmm


This packaged version is the familiar weed-tasting and weed-textured stuff that turns people off of more exotic greens.

yuck! 


Is it because the packaged is Organic? Or because it is packaged?
Actually now that I think about it…pre-packaged spinach seems a little “harder/thicker” too.
hmmmmm.
