I am drinking some delicious, hot, formula tea. I wanted milk tea, of course, but I’m stuck with this for a while.
"Natural Relish" just means plain. I was hoping for dill pickle.
I bought this at an airport. The sticker says that I am not allowed to take it on the plane, but I didnt know that until we landed.
After purchasing a few versions of milk tea (both with and without the tapioca pearls), I decided I wanted to drink it far more often than I wanted to pay for a disposable cup of it. I searched the local mini-marts for powdered milk, but all I found was baby formula of varying levels. Given 6 choices (1-3 months, 3-12 months, 1-3 years, with or without DHA+ARA), I opted for Level 3, with the DHA+ARA. I figure my body is somewhat closer to a 3-year-old’s than a newborn, and isn’t DHA a mood elevator for adults? As it turns out, it’s pretty tasty stuff and I haven’t been poisoned by melamine yet.
Of course, 3 days later I wandered into a huge store called My HoMart, which is more like Wal-Mart than the name implies. They had two full aisles dedicated to baby formula and powdered milk. So when I run out of this stuff, I can either switch to powdered whole milk or go for the more enticing Milk for Families, Milk for Young Women, and someday Milk for Pregnant Women and Milk for Seniors.
Though wikipedia says I’m doing it wrong, my version of milk tea is just brewed black tea with a scoop of brown sugar and a scoop and a half of formula. Once I venture down to the honey store, things could get far more exciting.
I had milk tea last night with pearls. I think I like the pearls better with cold milk tea though. But I was chilly so I wanted something hot. I got NP (the boy) to try the tea, but he said he had the pearls in Japan once, and didn’t know they were coming, and that was the end of tapioca pearls for him. All activities in that department are going well, tweeting and otherwise
Miss you.
Me too, but that might just be because I don’t like sucking hot liquid through a straw
I was served warm milk tea the other night though. As in, only very slightly warmer than my hands.
