Back in June my friend Rachel came to visit and helped me plant my very first garden. I haven't had much luck with edible vegetation in the past, but it looks like my luck is changing. Thanks Rach! Today Arnold and I munched on Tacos de Acelgas(Swiss chard tacos) and soon we will be eating insalata caprese with tomatoes & basil fresh from the "garden". "Garden" being a term I have to use loosely seeing as I'm totally negligent about weeding. Rach meanwhile has moved on to bigger projects, she's currently training in Cambodia to become an ag missionary in the Peruvian amazon. Rock on Rachel!!! In other totally un-related news my cousin Dan recently moved to Sac! And now Arnold and I have family in town! One by one y'all will move here! Muwa-ha-ha-ha!
