I don't have my son's flair for food arrangement, so it was served with a simple side of white rice. I had to substitude a white onion for garlic and a lime for lemon juice. I had to work with what I had in stock and I'm out of garlic. I don't know why. I also thought I had one of those little plastic lemons with the lemon juice inside but I don't have that, either. By the way, "Mahi Mahi Maui" is really fun to say. More fun to eat.
Tommy's camera does not have an LCD screen like mine does, but he still flips the camera around to show me what picture he's taken. I'll have you know that he's very talented at taking imaginary pictures. His new fascination has been with the movie, Spiderwick. I laugh that Tom had thought the movie would be too scary for him. He's got just about all the dialogue memorised. My review on that movie and Demetri Martin's stand-up, Person, will come soon.
