Black Light Bowling

Spare!!! Strike!!! The exciting moments of bowling! 

My friend Sara invited me to go cosmic bowling with her and her family to celebrate her birthday. Excitedly, we set off with our white shirts and arrived at the bowling alley a little after ten pm, around the time when cosmic bowling started. After we got organized with our shoes and a lane, the lights went out and the black lights flicked on! With glowing shirts and smiling faces, we bowled for one fun and fabulous hour. 

We almost had as much fun taking pictures as we did bowling!

Happy Birthday Sara!!!! 

Bubble Tea: An entertaing drink

Tapioca pearls, more often called boba, is commonly found in Thai tea beverages. Made with cassava root and a starchy substance, tapioca pearls, when boiled become soft and chewy.  The most popular thing to do with boba is to add it to tea of any sort. It looks like bubbles at the bottom of the glass, hence the name bubble tea.
Boba can be hard to find and is mostly sold at Thai markets.  My grandma bought some for us at a Thai market by her house.

It is super easy to make! All you need is:

• Tapioca pearls (boba)
• Tea or any kind of drink
• Boiling water
• Over sized straws

Place one cup of tapioca pearls in seven cups of boiling water and stir so they don't stick to the bottom. Let the tapioca boil for about thirty minutes. Turn heat off and allow tapioca to sit for twenty minutes. Tip: Soaking them in sugar water at the end gives them a nice sweet taste.
I just followed the directions on the package.
Once the pearls are done put a scoop in any beverage desired.
Most people are hesitant to try boba, but there is no need to be.  It doesn't have much of a taste and is just a chewy texture.  It will cause you to smile, and makes any drink more entertaining!

P.S. In the picture I made an espresso, added milk and put boba.

Backyard Life

Introducing Houdini...

   my little escape artist. 
Houdini, just like all our other chickens, lives in the fenced in area in our backyard.  Recently she has decided to fly over the fence, into the backyard, and she does it quite regularly everyday.  She hasn't figured out how to get back over the fence.  When it is bedtime and all the others hens are roosting in the hen house she can't get in, so she comes up to the patio and roosts on our patio table. 

Most days I put her back over the fence during the day so she can go the bed with the others...but not before having some fun with her!

I know, you all probably think I'm crazy.

She actually stayed on for a long time!

 

Well, now you all have a glimpse of our backyard life.
