Georgia James

H-town (Houston), I, Me, and Myself

It’s been a few days since Tofu passed away and grieving is an arduous thing. Common sense tells you that you need to move on. The steelier side of you tells you “it’s just a dog”. But you know better. Grief is the price of losing someone you love.

But we ARE trying to move on. So we decided to fancy-fy our usual Saturday brunch. Georgia James it is! We normally reserve these type of restaurant for dinner but their brunch looked good in the menu. And as we took the last morsel of dessert, we are glad that it didn’t disappoint!

Great location in River Oaks
Fluffy Ruffles. Aged pineapple rum and sweet vermouth.
Steak Tartare
This is one great meat as to be expected from a proper steakhouse
King crab omelette! Brings back Alaska memories
White chocolate and Bourbon bread pudding, baked from scratch so it took awhile to come out. Nursed a limoncello while waiting.

This is our first step to normalcy. All is good. We will get there.

Dearest Tofu, gone but will never be forgotten. Safe travels, little guy. 

Boba Milk Tea

H-town (Houston), Stuff I Cook, Uncategorized

Houston is going all out with the summer temps lately. This weekend was forecasted to be breaking all-time high. No wonder I’ve been getting cravings for boba milk tea aka bubble tea.

A trip to your favorite Asian grocery store and navigating through its parking is the most difficult process in making this cold tea. Once you’ve got the ingredients, everything else is easy!

First get the tapioca pearls. You will need to boil these in 3-4 minutes depending on how soft you want it to be. Mine is exactly 3 minutes and 43 seconds. Haha.

There are several flavors to choose from. I got my favorites: the green tea, Thai tea and plain milk tea. Follow the packages for direction. Add cooked tapioca, then ice.
