My Turn!!!

[teacher_jessica]

I'm on a posting roll this week and rather proud of myself too!  So, I figure since everyone else is doing it I will too:

Good Things:

1.  Honey Nut Cheerios:  I've been eating these for breakfast everyday for the past few weeks and can't get enough of this guilty pleasure.

I love Real Simple too!

And I have never had bubble tea - what are the bubbles made out of? It has always been somewhat intriguing to me....

I just did my first Sudoku puzzle - it was fun!

You have to have bubble tea lady! Basically you order your flavor of tea and I like to get mine on ice (they usually make them blended) and then the stuff that is the "bubbles" are tapioca pearls. You can also get coconut jelly and other things instead of the tapioca pearls but I don't like that stuff as much.

i am a sudoku maniac, too. do you get comcast cable commercials where you are? there's a funny one that mentions sudoku.

[teacher_jessica]

I haven't seen that commercial so I'll have to watch for it!

I had a similar experience earlier this week when my lovely husband left me a whole 2 tablespoons of milk, maybe.

I have never has bubble tea, what is it exactly??

I love Real simple too. It always has such great ideas about everything!

You'll have to try it! It's strange but tasty! I like the Taro flavor which is creamy and light but the passionfruit/mango combination is pretty darn good too.

Here's a definition for ya from the web:
Bubble tea is a mixture of iced or hot sweetened tea, milk, and often other flavorings. The distinctive characteristics of bubble tea are the black gummy balls made of tapioca (or, more commonly in East Asia, yam starch), called "pearls" or "boba" or balls that sit at the bottom of the cup. The pearls are larger than those found in tapioca pudding, with a diameter of at least 6 millimeters, but smaller ones are occasionally used.

I'm going ot have to find those hair bands!

I used to work on Harbor Island and my friend was addicted to those bubble teas over on Ocean Drive. I find those bubbles oddly disturbing as they come up the straw. :)

what do you think of "Wicked"? I didn't like it much. I was expecting it to be more "fun" and I found it a little to dark and dense. Have you seen the musical? I just can't imagine how on earth it could be a musical. I guess I should have seen it when it was here.

[teacher_jessica]

The tapioca pearls freaked out Brad's family too and they all ended up discarding theirs because they couldn't get past the weirdness. :o)

I'm not too far into Wicked yet. It's odd and totally not what I expected (man was the witches mom a dirty, dirty tramp). I'm not sure yet what I think of it so I'll have to let you know after I finish the book. BTW, several of my friends saw the musical and loved it.

I loved loved loved the musical! Paul got the book for me for Christmas last year but I've been scared to read it and spoil my opinion of it! I'd love to know what you think.

From what I've skimmed previously, the musical does not go as far as the book, so it ends on a more uplifting (if possible) note.
