Morning Otis!!!  Make my pudding chocolate please! 

I like horses when other people clean up after them. 

And since echooos is giving away lobster, this day rocks!

🍋...slicing lemons, melting butter and getting a big ol' bib!

I like tapioca pudding but it's not my favorite. I've never owned a horse but have been around them most of my life and rode them on mountain trails before. I've always been fond of Draft horses because of their size and strength, yet most of them have a calm and gentle demeanor.

Haven't had tapioca pudding in years but I like it OK. I used to ride horses all the time down by Sailor Bar on the American river but the stables there moved so I haven't been riding at all. Love to ride horses, pilgrim.

Ah, Otis, you have just presented me with a trifecta.

I do love tapioca pudding---made the old fashioned way at home with the beaten egg whites folded in.  Some work, but worth the effort.

Give away---as usual, Perhaps a laugh, an insight, a bit of information, and always truth as I see it.

And horses---well I used to rent a house when I was in my early 20's. It was on one acre of land and had a small stable (one step above a lean-to) and I bought some grade horses.

The kicker was that the house backed up to 140 acres of land that was available for riding.  Lots of fun.

Tom, I have been hesitating to ask this...are you amenable to posting the recipe for the pudding with egg whites?
it sounds marvelous.

Dear Tiger, if it is on the package I could just get when I buy tapioca next...although I use the minute tapioca, do you make it where you soak it overnight and then cook it a long time?

Do you recall the brand offhand, Tiger? Is it available here on the West Coast?

Tapioca pudding is my favorite pudding, always with a dollop of whip cream.

I love horses, they are beautiful and for some they are therapeutic. There are places that have horses that they use specifically to help one heal from trauma. I've never owned one, maybe that will change someday.

I am a giving person by nature, if you needed it, I'd give you anything.

Dear Otis,

For me no doubt...tapioca pudding all the way, and I don't even like it that well!

But my beautiful friend Dianne, she has recovered from pancreatic cancer, six years now which is a miracle in itself. However, pancreatic ca is notorious for leaving you unable to eat, and by January 2015 Dianne, 5'6" tall, was down to 78 lb. (35 kg, or 5.6 stone).

We collaborated on her nutrition, she really wanted to live, and by July when I was evicted she was up to 88 lb.! Well tapioca was one of the foods she could handle...and I got really good at making it fresh pure delicious nourishing. Tapioca really helped her.

So here is her recent 69th birthday photo, please everyone send her prayers/affirmations/good thoughts, according to your own inclination. And after some setbacks, she is now up to 91.8 pounds.

You know, Tiger, I might not even use the recipe that much...it's just that after all we went through, it's just reflex now to look for tapioca recipes...

I'll glady take the tapocia.  Have loved that sutff as far back as I can recall. 

As for horses - while I have ridden a bit in my youth, I think they are just plain dangerous.  I usually tell people that I think the only thing dumber than an hourse is a chicken, but I've never heard of any one being kicked to death by a chicken.
