Bubbalicious!

So, I've found a new thing.

My husband is not so sure...globuly mounds of eyeball gook floating in a cup...not his thing.

Reminds me of that one camp song:

Great big Globs of greasy grimy gopher guts,

Mutilated Monkey feet, chopped up baby parakeet,

French Fried Eyeballs swimming in a bowl of blood,

and Meeee, without my straw...aw shucks!

My new thing is called "Bubble Tea" a slightly odd concoction of slimy Tapioca Pearls floating in a cup of milk and iced tea, sucked down with a chubby straw.

One of my friends asked me if we were going to sell it at the soon-to-be-opened Coffee Shop, and I had no idea what it was. So...like all good things, I Googled it!

Ten easy steps on how to make Bubble Tea....

Step One:
Order expensive Large Pearl Tapioca from internet cause you live above the Arctic Circle



Step Two:
Boil it for 25 minutes, then let sit for 25 minutes, then drain and rinse the gooey stuff off.



Step Three:
Play with said balls cause they're cool...texture similar to frogs eyeballs, or fish eggs!



Step Four:
Put a few spoonfulls of "Bubbles" into the bottom of your glass.




Step Five:
Steep some Black tea. Add about 1tsp. sugar per serving.



Step Six:
Cool the tea off with some ice!



Step Seven:
Slowly add milk with one hand while trying to take a flash-free photo with the other.



Step Eight:
Shake em up Johnny!



Step Nine:
Enjoy with...



Step Ten:
...some Homemade-from-scratch-saw-it-on-Food-Network-easy Carrot Cake.



Its all Mm, MMm, Good! And according to Food Network's Ina Garten..."This is also a good way to get your kids to eat their vegetables, cause who doesn't like carrot cake?!"

I mean, the 2 cups of sugar in the cake batter and the 3 cups of powdered sugar in the frosting wouldn't overshadow the Carrots!

That's what I tell myself anyway! Its GOOD FOR YOU!
