Summertime...

Last night the fabulous muffyjo volunteered to hang out with Alice while we went to see Spiderman 3 at the IMAX in Natick. As self-indulgent summer effects blockbusters go, I'll take Pirates over this, but it was fun to see Spidey webslinging his way around the city on the big, big screen. Overall, I think I'd like this franchise better if Tobey Maguire did a thing for me, but J. always enjoys Kristen Dunst and I'm willing to indulge him.

Tonight I made tilapia with balsamic butter sauce, thyme mashed potatoes and sauteed fiddleheads in honor of our guests, ironpoet and alfie1981. Alice was in a sleepy mood, so we were able to have a nice, grown-up meal together. And whoa, balsamic butter sauce! I might make it just to have on toast.

From Slate:

The Post fronts a report on the U.N.'s continuing efforts to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; the body still spends millions of dollars a year to fund a team of 20 weapons experts, who spend their time poring over satellite photos in a Manhattan office. The experts admit there's nothing there to find, but say the Security Council has been unable to agree to end the program, or to alter its mandate to provide a more relevant service.
