Soaking Tapioca - this started out as a couple of thimbles full of tapioca beads - looks like fish eggs to me - and after an hour soaking in half a cup of milk it has swollen to fill the whole pot bottom to an inch or so.
As an aging male with limited cooking skills I am surprised at my growing interest in cooking – much of it I think is related to memories of the kitchen and the social and familial connections to the whole act of planning and preparing and enjoying a meal for friends and family. And of course I enjoy the extra reward of enjoying the fruits of that labor if it turns out well. Took strange turns to get here. My son decided to cook pancakes this morning for us. This reminded me of the Sunday “breakfast” suppers that were a tradition in my youth. My mom would often cook eggs and pancakes for Sunday dinner and my brothers and I would request and receive specially shaped pancakes – bunnies, cats, footballs, rockets, and airplanes or whatever.
So, as my son cooked pancakes this morning, I wondered why, in my youth, we had breakfast at supper, and then remembered that we often had a big dinner (or lunch) at my grandparents’ house on Sunday after church. Usually for these dinners my Grandfather cooked fried fish and yellow grits (yes, we lived in the south, Florida to be exact) which was unusual, because my Granny usually did all the cooking at their house, but Pa was a master at fried fish and enjoyed cooking it. So Granny relinquished the kitchen to Pa for the afternoon.
And then I remembered the extra-special treat of dinner at Granny and Pa’s. Tapioca Pudding that Granny regularly made. And it occurred to me that sadly I had not had tapioca pudding for several decades and even then none of it had been as good as my Granny’s pudding.
So I Googled tapioca pudding and found this site and recipe and decided to give tapioca pudding a go: www.101cookbooks.com/archives/tapioca-pudding-recipe.html
This afternoon my son and I shall share constant stirring duty and attempt her Dad’s recipe in my heavy Cajun cast iron Dutch oven pot. We shall attempt a double recipe and if it turns out good we will take the second half to the retirement community down the road.
(or more likely, I will sneak into the kitchen and eat the rest of the pudding at midnight)
Pedazo de corvina (un tanto reseca, no convenció) lacada con salsa de camarones y servida junto a una salsa de cabezas de gamba, salsa hoisin, perlas de tapioca picantes y una ensalada china. Muchos componentes en un plato de inspiración china que tenía su gracia pero que no pediríamos expresamente. Por cierto, igual que pasó con el plato anterior, éste también llegó un poco falto de temperatura.
Tapioca is a Brazilian ingredient that comes from a root called manioc, native from the Amazon. This flan/cake has a really intense coconut taste and the caramel on top is the key to make the recipe perfect sweet.

I went to a Phillipino food market and bought some of this boba stuff. Someone told me you boil it for about 20 mins. I cooked it for 20 mins and it was hard as a rock, so I kept boiling it, and after about an hour, it was chewey. I made some milk tea boba drinks, but then i needed straws big enough. So I tried to make some straws out of plastic, and it didn't work very well. The drinks tasted good though. I need instructions for Boba tea drinks!!!
The kids got out of school early - so we treated ourselves to our special smoothie...strawberry, pineapple & Orange Smoothie with the fun addition of boba pearls.

I love a good laksa, and the Laksa Lemak, listed as Old Town Lemak Laksa on the menu, is a zingy Thai-inspired dish, not dissimilar to Thai Laksa. While it is rich with coconut milk, it also flavoured with torch ginger flower and laksa leaf / Vietnamese mint. You also get a small dish of intensely fishy 虾膏 fermented prawn paste that adds a nice depth and sweetness to the laksa. The sprigs of mint on the top further help to freshen up these noodles.
Instead of the 福建面 yellow Hokkien noodles or 米粉 rice vermicelli, the typical Laksa Lemak is served with 瀨粉 tapioca starch noodles, chewy, rubbery, jelly-like noodles, which are one of my favourites!

Mini Tapioca pearls cooked in some kind of sugary solution and then covered in warm coconut milk. It tasted like oatmeal and looked like something that made alien babies. Mmmmm. I finished it all, even though I was stuffed.
