Worm on a String

Have you ever wanted a curtain of worms on strings but didn't want to pay the exorbitant price of roughly 20 cents per piece? Do you need a new cat toy or entertainment for young children? Are you bored at home with nothing better to do? Look no further. Today, I will show you how to make worms (or snakes) out of yarn without knitting needles. Will you be the string to my worm? For this project, you will need either two colors of yarn or one yarn color and a pair of googly eyes to glue on. You will also need a pair of scissors. First, wrap the yarn around your middle and ring finger in an infinity-loop shape. Repeat until you have two loops on each finger. Then pull the bottom loops over the top loop and off your fingers. Then, make another infinity-loop and repeat the process until you reach a satisfactory length. Once you are done with the body, thread the yarn through your pointer finger to your pinky finger twice. (This is the same as the previous two-finge

Carrot Cake

Carrot cake is easy to make, healthy, and especially moist. They make a perfect breakfast or afternoon snack! In addition to carrots, I also added one overripe banana to make the cake even moister (what a weird word "moister" is!). You don't have to add the banana if you don't have any on hand. Instead, substitute more carrots, applesauce, or canned pineapple. If you don't have a cheese grater at home, you can also use a food processor or a blender with the blade on the bottom. If using a food processor or blender, make sure to dice the carrots beforehand and pulse to let the carrots evenly fall in the path of the blade. For this recipe, I also used the natural color of carrot juice to color my frosting. I made the carrot juice by squeezing several handfuls of the grated carrots. In order to intensify the color, I quickly boiled the juice to reduce the liquid. I didn't use a piping bag to decorate this cake and did it freehand, so as

Matcha Tapioca Pearls (Boba) From Scratch

Boba has become a staple dessert and drink all-in-one here in the bay and all over the world. But at $4+ a pop, it can quickly become a very expensive and unhealthy habit. Making boba drinks at home is not only a money saver, but it also allows you to control your sugar levels too. Matcha brings a grassy yet bittersweet taste as well as a brilliant deep green color to the usual black and brown pearls. Adding matcha to chewy tapioca pearls packs a punch of flavor in a food that is usually just sugary balls of flour. There are many grades and types of matcha powder available at drastically different prices, and it may be difficult to choose the right one. While higher ceremonial grade matcha powder has a more complex taste and bright green color, lower grades are more grassy and bitter with a duller shade of green. This recipe, along with any other recipe in which the matcha is mixed with other ingredients, does not require extremely expensive high-grade matcha powder. Culina
