Tapioca Treat

It's been a little while since we've had tapioca's and with the little market right down on the stree, there's also a guy doing tapioca's for R$1.00 to R$3.00 depending on what you choose.  I've been putting off having to go down and converse to order a tapioca, and also we've had some behavior and listening issues with the girls so they've been losing this treat.  Tonight I finally went ahead and went down to pick something at random and bring it back up to try.  It took forever!  Seriously I think I was gone an hour and it was literally right outside the apartment building, Chris could see me from the balcony.  There were a couple of people in front of me and they each had fairly large orders, like five plus tapioca's a piece... the guy had three little burners going.  Just before it was going to be my turn to order, a girl went around the back of the little stand and put in her order of five tapioca's.  I guess her mother, who was waiting in the car, was in a hurry.  I finally got a turn and ordered my one little tapioca. (I wasn't waiting longer for more at this point)  I had picked charque, no idea what that is but whatever it was, he was out of the filling.  I chose mista instead and headed on back up to the apartment. 

By the time I got back, the girls had done such a poor job of waiting and listening to Daddy that they'd lost their treat.  Chris and I were pleasantly surprised to find that I'd chosen one with meat, albeit one rectangle slice, but it ended up being a tasty little ham and cheese sandwhich of sorts, especially when Chris added some mustard.
