Disappointing Arugula

[ndrosen]

I bought a bag of arugula at the farmers’ market on Sunday, getting it from a reputable vendor, and included some in my salads Sunday and Monday. One of those bags often lasts me a full week, and well into the second week; this time, the arugula was getting a bit dubious on Monday, so I put a couple of napkins into the bag, to absorb excess moisture.

By Tuesday evening, the arugula was on its way to turning into compost, and I live in an apartment with no garden or compost pile. I salvaged a few undamaged looking leaves for my salad, and the rest went down the garbage disposal.
