Iron Man II
Woo hoo! While I'm NOT caring for the inclusion (or looks) of Mickey Rourke, I'm otherwise giddy about this!

Today's picking!
I had to stay home to receive the new furniture, and after the guys dropped it off I thought I'd run back to the garden for a super quick check - just to see if anything changed since I was out there yesterday afternoon. Hey, don't laugh - if you have a garden, you know this is what you do!! 'Sides, it'd rained some last nite, and I wanted to check the rain gage. Anyhow...NOTHING measureable in the gage, but WOWZA, check out the veggies!
The first tomato!!! - he's about 3/4 lb!
The first eggplant! (I picked this guy a little small)
The first real harvest of beans! (The six I picked the other day don't count)
The first cucumbers to escape my view and get too big! (That's over 4 lbs of tomatoes!)
I included the with- and without-hand pics to show just how big some of that stuff got!

(Another) Day at the beach
Last week we decided to take Doogie for an after-work trip to the doggie beach again. We'd only been the one other time, but he had so much fun we figured he deserved another trip. One thing's for certain, when he's there, he's so distracted that the stuff he usually loves is pretty much ignored...
(Ok, to be honest, he DID catch a few frisbee throws....but he didn't bother chasing ball very much!)
Check it out - what dog WOULDN'T want to come out to the beach with that beautiful view!?
Sometimes the best part about Doogie is watching him walk away - that tail just flip flops back and forth like it has a mind of it's own!
Our pootch is quite the player, making nice with all the ladies at the beach.
There was another border collie, definitely more pure-bred than Doogie, that showed up with her owners.
What a beautiful dog!
It was probably around 7pm, so the sun was getting low, and the park wasn't nearly as packed as mid-day on a weekend. Definitely a more peaceful visit!
Doogie made some new friends! (I'm SO glad we humans don't greet each other this way!)
"YAY! I don't know you! YAY!"
We're so proud - it seems no other dog can get all the other dogs wound up into a game of chase like ours.
Now this is something we warned Doogie about...maybe he shouldn't drink the water. But this was the closest he'd been to the water out of both visits, so it was nice that he was getting close to it and checking it out. HOWEVER...we noticed for at least the next few nights we could sometimes hear his tummy gurgling and he didn't always look like he was feeling great. Maaaaaybe he shouldn't have drank the water???

Look what's in the garden!
Are ya ready for lots of pictures? Because the gardens' are really busy cranking stuff out right now! Read? Let's go...
Here's one of the two plum bushes. Not much to speak of yet - give 'em a few years and hopefully they'll gain some real height!
Almost every tomato plant has fruit on it now (uh oh - what's with those curled leaves in the foreground?!)
This one lost it's tag early on....I'm not sure what it is, but it's the biggest tomato I've got so far. I'd guess it's some sort of beefsteak or Aunt Ruby's Green Giant...
While some of the leeks are really scrawny...
...most have gotten some serious heft to them! Yum!
While the neighboring town of Ravenna may be known for it's annual Balloonaffair, my tomatillo bush looks like it's competing - it really does look like it has a bunch of hot air balloons hanging from it! So far most of these puffy sacks having scrawny little green-tomato-like tomatillo fruits in them. Over the next couple of months those tomatillo fruits are going to swell to the point of rupturing the "balloons" - and then we'll be trying some cooked tomatillo salsa!
The first round of cilantro has gone to seed. These plants are covered in both blooms AND little coriander seeds! I should've started the next round of cilantro sooner - it's almost salsa time, and I'm out of cilantro!
The Niro di Toscana kale sure looks cool!
Check out the funky variegated pattypan squash... So far I've had one of these, and one white/pale colored one.
While the eggplant leaves and even blooms are looking really rough from all the flea beetle attacks, the plants ARE blooming, and there's even some small fruits on them now!
The cucumbers are starting to produce...check out an Asian Express...
And this stubbier guy is more for pickling than slicing on to salads.
Who would've guessed I'd be able to grow GRAPES!??!
The peppers are starting to form - both in sweet...
...and HOT varieties!
I didn't grow as much swiss chard this year. Even if I don't eat a ton of it, you can't knock it for the bright yellow...
...and firey red-orange colors it adds to the garden!
Maybe it's been too cold or damp, but many of the baby squash have just rotted off this year. Let's hope this batch does better!
Check out the size of the biggest pumpkin in the garden!
And I think this guy here is a 2-person serving size spaghetti squash. This variety of spaghetti squash did GREAT last year!
Uh oh - we will now be eating cucumbers for breakfast, lunch, dinner AND dessert! This is just one picking!
Oh, and here's that pale pattypan...
Yup, the garden's really cranking out the food now!

Taters, twice!
Here's a recent harvest from the garden (BEFORE the cucumbers started cranking out like crazy - more on that later!)... This was a year that I SWORE I wouldn't bother with potatoes...they take up a lot of space for what you get, and they take that space up for a LOT of time... I had decided they weren't worth it, and I honestly not even certain, since they're cooked so much, that I can tell the difference between homegrown and storebought. And storebought potatoes are CHEAP!
Buuuuut then there was the broccolato incident, and after the broccoli heads finally stopped producing and I pulled out the broccoli "trunks", the potato plants had a little life left in them. Once they died off, it was time to harvest! Check it out - lots of Russian fingerling VOLUNTEER potatoes!
Oh, and the blueberries are doing nicely! These are all from one of the replacement plants I put in this year....it's juuuust about done for the season.
Anyhow, last week, after digging up all those taters, we had them fried up with a leek (just to experiment with), garlic and herbs. I simmered them in salted water awhile first to get the cooking started. Oh, and in the pan there's also squash (bottom right) and for the last few minutes, peas (bottom left). Brett obviously wasn't going to touch the squash, but we both really liked the "fried peas". Yum!
Turns out we didn't eat all those potatoes with dinner that night... And I've had two cartons of farm fresh eggs sitting in the fridge the last couple weeks needing to get used up, annnnnd I've a bunch of veggies coming on that Brett won't touch but I want to eat. AND I didn't have any meat thawed out... So, hm, how about FRITTATA!?!? Dig out the leftover Russian fingerlings (not shown here). Chop up some leftover baked potatoes from "steak and potatoes" the other night (upper right). Cube up some squash (lower right). Clean some chard (left) . And get some seasonings - red onion, LOTS of herbs of various sorts, and a little hot pepper (all along the bottom).
Heat up two pans with about 50/50 olive oil and butter, fry up the taters in both pans, and add the squash to mine. Toss in the chopped up chard stalks in mine. Add the onion and hot pepper to both (next time - remember to add more pepper so it's noticeable!). Stir the herbs into both pans and the ribboned chard leaves into my pan. Then dump in a mixture of eggs, heavy cream ('cause it needs used up), salt and pepper into each pan (I think I used something like 10 eggs? And three of those were double yolks!). Plop in some small cubes of cheddar while it fries a bit, then throw under the broiler to finish up!
Hmmm...maybe that could've looked a LITTLE more appealing? We had this with salad and bacon.
I tell ya what - frittata is a GREAT dish - we're finding we like it year round. It's really handy for using up lots of veggies in the summer, isn't too much work, and is great leftover. Heck, you can even take a slab of this stuff and turn it into a sandwich!

There's a whole lotta fornicating goin' on around here!
Check out this little guy - he's sort of a cute little critter, isn't he? All shiny and different colors... The only problem is he's on his way to a party...
And THIS is what the party looks like (this next picture is NOT for those with more wholesome tastes...):
Yes, they're doing EXACTLY what you think they're doing.... And they're doing it ALLLLL OVER my yard, in my shrubs, in the garden, EVERYWHERE. Awwwww yeah! (Cue the dirty video music - boom chicka bow bow!)
You can't walk across the yard without getting pelted on the side of the head by a Japanese beetle on his way to one of the orgies somewhere on one of my plants. Heck, I even had one crash land IN MY HAND.... That made things really convenient for me. 'Cause where there's a party, there should be some DRINKIN'!
That's just a couple days worth of collecting when "the partying" first started. A few days after that I dumped it out and started over. And got THIS in under an hour:
Not only were the Japanese beetles at it, but the squash bugs are doing it with a LITTLE more decency - they're trying to hide under the giant leaves of my squash and pumpkins. You'll see one of them, caught AND killed in a fit of ecstasy at the bottom of the jar...and those leaves floating around with dots on 'em? Those're the eggs of the squash bugs...I keep picking the leaves apart to try and only get the parts with the eggs, figuring the plants might want their "solar panels" still in place.
Check out these two - they look a bit shocked. GASP! I don't know what kinda critters you are, but you're doing it on MY PLANTS! Get a room - in someone ELSE'S YARD!
And these here are some of my most hated. The cucumber beetles. Just so you know, they're not as particular as their name implies. They also like squash and pumpkin plants. And they like things a bit more romantic - right there in the reproductive organs of the plants themselves... I'm finding this is actually kinda cool - sometimes I'll find six or more of them going at it down IN the male blossoms of the plants. And since there are SO MANY male blossoms, I have no qualms twisting that blossom tip shut (if it's not already closing on it's own, trapping the passionate little buggers inside), and then picking it off and stomping on it. (Yes, you might catch me "dancing" in the garden. That's not a dance. It's frustration!)
And for all those squash bugs you don't catch? Just one of them can leave LOTS of these little patches all over your plants...and then those eggs will hatch out before you know it, and you have DOZENS more squash bugs.
Cute story. My first year of gardening, when I was trying to be all organic and wholesome about the gardening, I didn't want to kill off ANY critter I didn't know was bad. And I saw all these eggs all over the leaves of my squash!! And I talked to those eggs each time I saw them, telling them I was CERTAIN they were going to be BENEFICIAL insects, and how grateful I would be for all the help they'd lend.
And then they hatched. And they were cute. Not fuzzy bunnie cute, but little immature insect cute. And again, I told them I couldn't wait to see what wonders they would do in the garden.
If I remember right, I only got maybe a couple squash that year. Oh, and ALL my squash plants died in record time.
Boy was that a lesson!
And here's something new I've learned. It's kinda fun, since the squash/pumpkin patch is within spitting distance of the pond out back, to pick the squash bugs off the plants and toss 'em into the pond. GULP! The neighborhood kids stocked the pond with fish, and the fish LOOOOVE squash bugs!! They also seem to love Japanese beetles, but I have to be MUCH closer to toss those in before they fly off. You have to admit - this is about the most "organic pest control" as I can get! ;-)

Because you hated your home til now...
Well, I don't know about that, but the packaging on these Better Homes & Gardens Japanese lanterns I bought on sale at Walmart DID say "Fall in love with your home again." So the fact that you were hating your home is just sorta implied, right?
And here's what the look like as it's getting dark outside, and with the lights on. As you can see, one bulb blew, so I'll replace that...not a big deal.
I don't consider this a finished project...I need to get a dark, 10-12 ft extension cord dedicated to connecting the two strings of light together (you can sorta see the white cord dangling underneath the edge of the gazebo along the left side). Plus there's that bulb to replace, and maybe connecting the strings to the "roof supports" about midway up on each side...but I have to say I kinda like 'em! And they really provide a nice warm, ambient glow once the sun sets...

Who is Green Lantern!?
As reported on io9 and Newsarama, there are now officially three guys up for the role of Hal Jordan Green Lantern in 2011's Green Lantern movie... Apparently Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Timberlake are being considered for the role - that's them in the next picture, from left to right.
Ok, I realize some of you might still be wondering "Who or what the heck is a Green Lantern!?" In a nutshell, Green Lanterns are members of an interstellar peace-keeping force. Each member is given a power battery and a ring, and the ring creates 3D energy constructs based on the wielders imagination, and are powered by their will. Earth just happens to have a handful of Green Lantern Corp members - most members are the only one from their planet, and for the most part, are the only member from their sector of space.
Just so you know - there are a LOT of Green Lanterns:
Annnnnyhow, the new movie that's being talked about is scheduled to be released in 2011. Many online fans had hoped to get Nathan Fillion to play the lead role of Hal Jordan, Earth's primary Green Lantern. One fan even went so far to create this really cool "movie trailer", sampling from many other movies and doing some seriously cool editing work.
Unfortunately, it looks like Nathan Fillion isn't getting the job. So let's consider the three fellas who ARE supposedly up for it!
First there's Bradley Cooper. If you watched Alias, he was "the best friend" (we only watched the first season, so I don't know if he developed into anything more). I believe he was also in "Kitchen Confidential", which I'm sure we'll have to watch sometime.
Check out those eyes - DREAMY is one of few words I can think to describe 'em!
Plus he's got super fun hair and a great smile...
I haven't seen too many pics of him shirtless, but from the ones I HAVE seen, I'd say he's got a pretty good bod.
Speaking of bods, next is Ryan Reynolds. Who ever would've thought 'Berg' from "Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place" would've made it as far as he has! Back then he seemed all lanky, but Ryan did some serious working out, and has shown it off in a number of his movies...
I know I've seen his ripped torso in both the remake of Amityville Horror and in one of the Blade movies. He'd definitely look great in spandex!
Plus I think he'd make a pretty good looking Hal Jordan. Not TOO young, definitely not too old. But I don't know if I can really see him playing the role. He's been goofy in MOST things he's been in.
And finally there's Justin Timberlake. I have to say his body is better than I'd expected, but he just doesn't really scream "superhero" to me.
Well, MAYBE he'd look ok in spandex...
...but I just don't quite think he looks like a Hal to me, nor do I really know that I WANT to see him try to impress us with this kinda role. I'm just not feeling it with JT...
I guess if I had to pick from the above three, I'd go with Bradley Cooper. As soon as The Hangover is out on video, we'll be seeing him in that. I understand he's had quite a number of good roles... Ryan Reynolds isn't bad at all....but if we're looking just at headshape/facial appearance, I think Bradley wins it.
What do you think?
ADDENDUM:
It looks like we have a winner!
