Iphone case

I bought a plain white case for my phone.  The Sharpie marker rubs off in a day or two, so I've been having fun switching it up every few days.

Living sphagnum moss

I got living sphagnum moss at the West Shore Orchid Show. I planted sundew seeds on it. Maybe you can see the little black flecks. I will let you know if they sprout.

Cuts of Tuna

Tapioca Pudding

1/2 cup small pearl tapioca
3 cups milk (not skim milk)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla - I also used a vanilla bean cut in half and scraped

Combine tapioca, 1 C. milk, and salt in 1 1/2 quart pan and let soak for 1 hour. Add the remaining 2 C. milk, sugar, and beaten eggs. Turn heat to medium high, stir until very hot. Do not let the pudding boil! Simmer 5 minutes, stirring constantly until you get a nice thick pudding consistency. Cool 15 minutes. Add vanilla. Serve either warm or chilled.
