WIIF? #126
Flo figured out my fur brained scheme last week!
Here is What Is It Friday? #126
Carletta had fate on her side ;) Her name even has "Car" in it!
The fine print: On Fridays I will post an image in hopes that visitors will leave a guess in the comment section. The following Friday (or when someone guesses correctly) I will post a wide shot of the item. Each Friday a NEW image, along with a link to the previous weeks post, will be posted.

Fried zucchini... Flowers, that is...
Unless a zucchini forms at the base of a flower, the flower will fall off the stem and be wasted. If a zucchini is to form it is easily spotted by a thicker stem and the start of the vegetable will be quite noticeable. I don't like waste and I remember a little recipe that my father showed me many years ago.
There are different ways to do this, but I will take you through the easiest. If you feel adventurous, make some seasoned ricotta stuffing (like for stuffed shells) and fill the flowers... otherwise...
Get yourself some zucchini flowers from your garden. Rinse under water and remove any dirt or bugs.
If adventurous, you can open the flowers and stuff them before this next step. These were not stuffed. Dip the flower in scrambled egg and coat the outside of the flower.
Then roll the flower in... um... flour. Coat the entire flower... uh... in flour, and then...
Drop those bad boys in hot vegetable oil. Turn over once or twice until thoroughly fried.
Place on a few sheets of paper towels to get any excess oil off and then sprinkle with powdered sugar or fruit preserves... or both!
I used raspberry!
If stuffed with seasoned ricotta, you can cover with some tomato sauce and grated parmesan or pecorino romano! Enjoy your summer snack. And remember to share ;)

Looking for a mate...
My wife saw this critter in the grass.
He seemed to be probing the air for a mate.
It reminded me of the big beetles in Starship Troopers that were blasting bombs out their rears.
That spear kept pulsing!
Do you dare click?
Come on! Click that last one for a freaky desktop image.

Observe.... Understand.... Report....
Check out the beta of Sputnik Observatory.
Check out the blog. Peruse the videos. Leave your mark.
An excerpt from their mission:
The mission of Sputnik Observatory is to be the world’s foremost institute dedicated to the study of contemporary culture. Sputnik Observatory manifests this commitment by documenting, archiving and disseminating the ideas that are shaping the arts, sciences and technology....The ultimate purpose of Sputnik Observatory is to foster the interconnection of ideas. Its aim is to create and facilitate a dialogue between academia and the people, the established and the emerging, and the future and the now, in an environment that is responsive to the principles of democracy, while being accessible to curious minds everywhere.
Their Vision:
All that is unseen can be seen
you can see through the doors
there are no walls
it is a world waiting to be explored
real time.
Under the sea
up by the stars
on the street
right where you are
can you feel it?
Would you want to share what's there
with me
and him
and them
could we own it?
If I tell you that there is more of that which is…
can you see it?
For there is a space out of time where dreams fly
possibilities arise
just open your eyes…
out there is your mind.
Their Credo:
ideas are not selfish.
ideas are not viruses.
ideas survive because they fit in with the rest of life.
