So, we get in from hauling the cannon up from Galveston to find Kate and Zuzu watching iCarly. On the show, Carly wins a cooking contest with her own exclusive “Spaghetti Tacos.” Being fresh off one adventure, I was game for a second.

I pulled out some Morninstar crumbles, sauce and spaghetti….Fired up the burners and cast my culinary fate to the wind.

Even though I didn’t have the “exclusive and secret” recipe, Iwas able to approximate something to satiate monkey troop hunger. Rave reviews for Chef DaddyMom.

Your 3 megapixel window into moments of monkey troop life is my iPhone. Together, my digital travel companion and I come across reasons to chuckle with amusing regularity . So begins a new feature, iView: Photos providing a laughing look into our wonderful life.

Caption contest: What caption would you give this? No prize, other than the pride of being published here in relative obscurity. I’ll add mine later this week. Reelly I will.

Friday night and we’re downtown at Discovery Green to see Buster Keaton in The General. One of the best silent movies of all time, KUHF arranged to have The Golden Arm Trio accompany the film live.

This was one of those seemed-like-a-great-idea moments. The kids were entertained all night despite the movie. Fresh made cookies placated the youngins. Pinot Noir took the edge pour moi.

Poooor Stella. She hates black and white movies. So, this was a double-dip of DaddyMom fun for her.
