July 4, 2009



Happy July 4th !



Beautiful day at the Greenmarket.



P.E. and D.D. Seafood, Lobster and Squid,
Tomatoes, Red Scallions, Garlic and a Lime-Wine
Sauce for lunch with Corn on the Cob.



Union Square has some wonderful sites: Karl Adolph Donndor, James Fountain,also known as the Union Square Drinking Fountain.



No corn at Sycamore Farms. They said next
Wednesday.



However, Migliorelli Farms of Tivoli, NY to the
rescue. Small ears and $1 each, ouch! The Corn was
good, nice snap, quite tasty.

Betty Fussell in "The Story of Corn" recommends as little
time in boiling H20 as possible. John Doerper's Eating Well
(1984), "Make sure to have as little distance as possible
between the corn patch and the kettle."



Gourds in the sun.



Still plenty of flowers.



These were city-planted flowers in the
front of the park.



The Twilight Zone Marathon is on SyFy (both the classic Rod
Serling episodes and some from the mid-'80s revival of the
show -Friday only-) nonstop until 6 a.m. Sunday.



On Friday, I caught a few of the new ones. Above is William
Atherton and Richard Mulligan in a remake of Classic
Twilight Zone's "Night of the Meek." I prefer the Art Carney
version but this one wasn't bad.

Atherton was Walter Peck in Ghostbusters.
My favorite scene:
[Persuading the mayor to let them stop a supernatural upheaval]
Dr. Peter Venkman: If I'm wrong, nothing happens! We go to jail - peacefully, quietly. We'll enjoy it! But if I'm *right*, and we *can* stop this thing... Lenny, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters.
