Pickled Garlic Scapes get an extra punch of flavour from garlic flowers (the pink things) and mustard seeds.

Weekend #1 of coloring mural.
Spidey has LINES. He's about good to go. Gotta add some webs. How long have I been drawing Spidey? Since I was about 5. Got his face on lock. The rest of his costume, can be a pain (as many comic artists know).
I revised the area around DARTH VADER, giving Hellboy and Goku center stage display (superman is above them both). I like this area, I feel it represents MOVIES (vader), INDY COMICS (hellboi), MANGA (goku) & AMERICAN COMICS (superman)... You can also slightly make out a SONIC T. HEDGEHOG squished in the centre of the diamond, representing VIDYA GAMES. All elements that make up the Emerald City Comic Convention.
This is my 3rd (and final) placement of GOKU on the mural. First he was Z style, blasting Superman with a fireball. But a few reasons led me to change it. I decided I liked larger characters on the right side of the mural, and I wanted more iconic shots of superman and Goku. (this decision also turned out to make HELLBOY look a HELL[BOY] of a lot cooler)
Then I tried a KID GOKU riding his cloud right next to spiderman... This was OK, but still not very strong. And there's not a lot of good light in the area, so I felt Goku was downplayed.
Then, I decided to play on Hellboy's awesome stature, and try to make it a more symmetric, diamond orientation in the VADER area. At first I had a sketch of MARV from SIN CITY in goku's spot, his arm in the same position, but he was holding a HACK SAW (as he does in sin city, to cut elijah wood's head off). This was a decent decision, MARV is more than worthy. But a few factors made me decide against him. 1) He'd be majorly black& white, which conflicts with vader, 2) the hack saw right next to spidey's head was a little harsh, 3) hellboy already represents INDY comix, so fitting with the theme, putting a manga character here would be better.
And GOKU DESERVES IT.
He's the Japanese Superman.
So ya, take 3 of Goku, has him confidently flexing for the camera, smirking and winking as Goku would cheerfully do. Much more in character than him blasting Superman for whatever reason (which is, however, a battle all us comic fans REALLY want to see legitimately at some point, amirite?)
And he is, of course, Super Sayin'.
I did not know of these until we signed on to a vegetable subscription program. In the spring a garlic bulb will send up a flowers stalk or "scape". Cutting the stalk off forces the plant to put more of it's energy into growing the bulb. That stalk, however, can be minced and used as one would use garlic. As they get older the bottom gets woodier, but bud remains tender.

Waimea Canyon, Kauai, Hawaii, US
Kaua'i is the oldest of the windward Hawaiian Island chain. It is farthest north, has a circular shape, s weathered soil, its eroded landscapes, and many sand beaches all point to its age. Isotopic carbon dating of rocks showed that they are 5.6 million years old, so conventional thought is that Kaua'i began then -- forming on the sea floor from volcanoes in the Hawaiian Rift Zone, over a Hot Spot where it slowly built itself up above sea level. This same action is occurring on the Big Island right now.
Kauai has one shield-building volcano called Kilohana, though some scientists believe there was more than one based upon various types of lava found.
Hub perspective: A network of programmed water hubs connect people to the water and encourage water-based activities in the calm water behind the Living Breakwaters. The water hubs offer basic services such as bathrooms and water fountains, as well as a host of programs suggested by local community groups, including storage for monitoring equipment and kayaks, classrooms, wet laboratory space, flexible gathering spaces, local restaurants, bird watching stations, and nature observation decks
From their spaceship, the travelers were amazed by the array of monoliths and the long shadows they cast over the unusual crop configurations.
I harvested the garlic scapes (flower buds) from my garlic today and made pesto. Delicious!! It's a good idea to cut the scapes off because it makes the garlic put more energy into the bulb, so you get more garlic. Plus the scapes are absolutely delicious, it's worth growing garlic just for the scapes.

We got some garlic scapes in our CSA (community-supported agriculture) package last week. The internet told us that they're the green shoots of a young garlic plant; you can only get them in season (June), which is why you probably haven't seen them in your local run-of-the-mill supermarket.

I really wanted to try and get a city scape portrait myself, so- I got it from a separate location.

SB600 triggered by my newly acquired Cactus V4's. They are a little cheaply built but they get the job done! I'm happy with them especially with the amount of money spent on them. Tungsten filter over the SB600 through a 45" umbrella camera left.
Plan: The Tottenville Reach, our proposed Phase 1 Pilot, implements all elements of the project: physical, ecological, and social. It will be used to study ecological benefits, wave reduction impacts, and the economic and recreational potential of Living Breakwaters. It is critical that Phase I be implemented at a scale large enough to establish proof-of-concept, enable this to become a replicable strategy, and have immediate benefit to the residents of Tottenville.
