>Two solid cement pink flamingos. (Yup…these babies are solid cement…as if the plastic ones aren’t tacky enough…saw them at the curb tonight in someone’s trash and couldn’t pass them up…they now sit proudly amongst my tomato and pepper plants in the front yard.)

Stove-Top Frittata
Yes, I’m still attempting to eat my way through the giant zucchini that two measly plants are producing this year (this post could easily be one in a series titled: things that can be made out of zucchini). Anyhow, I made a stove-top frittata out of it…it was delicious and simple to make (I’m notContinue reading “Stove-Top Frittata”

Crazy and Abrupt Rain
This has been one wet summer…and yesterday was no exception…it was truly wet-and-wild. We had a few crazy rain storms complete with high winds, and lots of thunder and lightening. The worst, I think, was in the afternoon. It was a normal sunny day, albeit extremely humid, when a warning came on the radio ofContinue reading “Crazy and Abrupt Rain”

Ratatouille and Pasta (sans aubergine)
My gardens are not doing that well this year…partly because of the crazy wet summer we’ve had, but also because of my lack of weeding and trimming (not to mention what the rabbits and slugs have pilfered)…it really is out of control. At any rate, I am finally starting to get a few things, andContinue reading “Ratatouille and Pasta (sans aubergine)”

Urban Rabbits
I planted six broccoli plants this year….four of them were doing exceptionally well. I use the past tense, were, because this is all that remains of them. A couple days ago these leafy plants were about two feet wide but this is all that’s left…stumps. It seems like rabbits are everywhere in the city thisContinue reading “Urban Rabbits”

Barcelona 1908 (again)
I posted this video about six months ago but it is so beautiful (I think) that I had to post it again. If you’ve seen it before I know you’ll watch it again. And if you haven’t watched it yet it is worth the seven minutes. Turn of the television or radio and turn upContinue reading “Barcelona 1908 (again)”

Stimulus
The government should offer cash rebates for people to buy bicycles instead of more cars (ie, the ill-fated cash for clunkers deal). I really wonder if gas prices were a tad higher and there were more incentives to use alternative means of travel if more people in America would take the bicycle more seriously…that itContinue reading “Stimulus”
