Chapter 15 was primarily about the author's vacation in Italy. I love the image of food in Italy! You take the time to eat and enjoy the meal, even savor each flavor and nuance. There are many courses but Italians eat slowly and sometimes just a bit of each course. One of the places they stayed was somewhat like a bed and breakfast but served all meals and you had the option of helping on the farm! Sounds like adventure to me. I also love the idea of eating with people you don't know. What conversations might be had? This place attracts tourists and is called agriturismo.
In chapter 16, I was fascinated by how a peanut grows! It's quite amazing actually. Peanuts begin like most other plants, blooming in summer but then pollinate and set their seeds and then begin to grow downward and burrow into the ground. Hence your underground crop, the peanut! Matt thinks it's too cool to grow peanuts in the Pacific Northwest. I wonder if my co-blogger and friend, Jenn could in southern CA???
