On balls in the mouth

[beetiger]

I’m having a minor obsession with bubble tea, right now. Sweet and chewy and creamy and complicated and silly-looking, requiring inexpensive but clearly specialized equipment to do it right. I haven’t been able to find someone in Westchester making it, though, and I feel silly taking a trip into Manhattan for, well, a soft drink. I liked Orbitz too, in its day. Somewhere in my files I have a food-scientisty formulation sheet for making roughly that.

However, I don’t like caviar at all. I especially don’t like salmon roe, which to a first approximation looks quite a bit like the tapioca bits in bubble tea. But it’s not chewy, it’s squirty. And you don’t eat it with a straw.

Personal taste is a quirky thing.

I would've liked Orbitz if the flavors weren't so darned weird.

This, coming from a person whose most famous form is a lava lamp shaped like a vixen?

I never thought that we'd find the end of your range of 'weird', hon. Do I dare take you to 'The Sweet Booth' in Oakland, where they serve things like 'Jar Jar Supreme' and about a hundred different kinds of tapioca drinks?
