Had another fun bubble tea exchange. I ordered a ginger tea, hot. It's so good and spicy and warm for winter, especially since my classroom is 45 degrees, and I HAVE TO BUY MY OWN SPACE HEATER. The school does not provide heat. I am not kidding. I am a little livid, like mildly blue with rage as opposed to deep purple. Anyway, hoping that ginger tea would warm me up after a long cold fingered, freezing footed day at school (maybe I should get footie pajamas to wear as an underlayer?), I went to the tea shop. Ginger tea, hot, went through the communication channels fine, and then I asked for boba. DOUBLE TAKE. The cashier flinched big... like he just got rear ended or something. And then when I was like, "uh, is that possible?" he turned to another worker and asked her. She was like, "Well, the taste of the ginger will conflict with the boba... are you sure you want this?" Confusion, mild disgust.
HOW DOES THE TASTE OF GINGER CONFLICT WITH BOBA? Boba doesn't taste like anything. It's just tapioca. Are you people insane?! Wait, maybe I'm insane. Fortunately, my mother's coming in a few days, and I can get her to explain the delicate palate interactions of boba and tea flavors with me.
No more bubble tea posts for a while. Apparently they contain 7 calories per boba, and at about 50 boba per glass, my waistline cannot afford to post very often.

Wow. 45degrees inside?? all day?? that's awful! I was just about to feel sorry for myself because the high today in Cincinnati will be 12, but i'll be in heated buildings all day. And I don't even have to pay for the heat. I miss you!
Come to Poland - we had -15F a week ago :>
