Tapioca in the Rain
With the land lady here, we didn't want to prepare dinner again, so I offered to stand in the rain at the stand temporarily set up in the park for the fair for some tapiocas. I took Abby down with me and it was only misting now, and we browsed under the tents at the DVDs, R$5 = US$3 and the gadgets/gizmos and clothes. We ordered 4 tapiocas, two mista (ham/cheese/coconut), 1 coconut, cheese and banana, and one coconut and cheese. The land lady wanted a banana and cheese, which I didn't see without the coconut, so I got those four, dropped Abby back off and took Zoë down. It started to rain really hard, so I turned Zoë around, went in the hard rain myself to wait for the land lady's dinner. I ended up getting her the coconut, cheese and banana for R$1.50 = US$1. These tapiocas are a strange thing. It is a gummy mixture that is cooked and folded in half like a taco, with the toppings melted inside the fold. It is about 1/8 - 1/4 of an inch think before being folded in half. The texture is almost like a gummy bear inside. The outside is dry and not too sticky. They are tasty inexpensive treats that are good in a pinch.
Abby @ 4 years, 8 months, 13 days
Zoë @ 4 years, 8 months, 13 days
Enzo expected in 27 days
