A couple weekends ago Miami and I took a day trip to Seattle. We had “noods” (Miami’s name for noodles) at Uwajimaya’s, poked around the Kinokuniya Bookstore for a long time, and goggled at all the asian produce. I also tasted my very first bubble tea as evidenced by the photo above. Can you tell that I just threw up a little? Sorry all you bubble tea lovers out there, but I have to say, this is just about the grossest thing I’ve tasted in a long time. Those “pearls” are just so wrong on so many levels. Imagine not-so-delicious gummy bears that taste like absolutely nothing, but yet somehow find a way to be vile flavored, being sucked up into your unsuspecting mouth while you are casually sipping a tasty pineapple slushy. Quite the nasty surprise. But now I finally know what all the fuss is about.
It’s been quiet here at the bloggy because I’ve been doing 2-a-days with the workout program. I run a couple miles on the treadmill in the morning and then ride my bike with R. Darling while he runs in the evenings. It’s not every day, but it does take a lot out of me and I never seem to have enough time during the day to do everything that I usually do. So, the blog languishes. But this weekend R. Darling is taking me on a secrety squirrel surprise getaway so I will hopefully have some fun things to share when we get back. I know there is a massage and creatures involved (but not at the same time, cause that’s not how we roll). I’m SO looking forward to this. I sorely need a vacation but we just won’t be able to go on one until much later this year. This will be a nice substitute. Thanks honey!
And since I’ll be gone, I’ll leave this for you before I head out of town tomorrow:

7. And as for the weekend, tonight (Thursday)I’m looking forward to going to bed early, tomorrow (Friday) my plans include riding my bike with R. Darling for about 8 miles while he runs, and getting out of town for our secrety squirrel trip, Saturday I want to enjoy my massage and Sunday, I want to spend some more time with my hubby!

I actually can tell that you threw up a bit! That sounds absolutely gross…..not a big fan of textural drinks anyhoo.
Have a great weekend……..hey, are you sayin’ there’s something WRONG with creatures and massages at the same time?

That bubble tea does sound pretty disgusting. Have a fun trip!

I LOVE those tapioca pearl balls! Oddly enough, I don’t like most of the teas because they are too sweet. Sometimes I can find a shop that actually makes fresh brewed tea and not use the syrups or anything and can still add the pearls. I just love sucking them up individually into the straw and into my mouth.
Okay — that’s probably grossed you out even more.

You can get bubble tea at the teahouse on Kellog-you should go there from work one day. I think I saw Sergio going into work today-now I have a face for the name. Have a great weekend! It sounds exciting. TC

I have no idea what bubble tea is and I guess I hope I never find out ;-)

I have yet to try bubble tea, and now you got me curious to see if I’ll have the same reaction you had to it…
I hope you had a very enjoyable getaway!
