Book Description
The Honey Bubble takes us down into the forgotten, decomposing, inner-city Los Angeles neighborhoods most of us pass over on elevated freeways, and into the threadbare, desperate lives of the denizens there. Three owners of borderline skid-row gin mills hatch a dingbat scheme to bolster their revenues by, what else?, murdering the competition. The Competition is the only decent guy around, it seems; the honest owner/operator of the only watering hole in the area where youd even trust the ice. The three co-conspirators, no master criminals to begin with, set off a series of Rube Goldberg missteps and quickly begin to be devoured by their own scheme. When the intended victims bodyguard gets wind of the plot, the whole landscape darkens, and the second half of the novel becomes an accelerating, cinematic slide into a truly demonic and violent denouement, and a life-or-death climax you will never see coming. This book is at once very funny, genuinely frightening, elegantly crafted, and boasts one of the most truly frightening villains I have even encountered in print or film. Rodney Deming, screenwriter

The Boba Book
Author: Andrew Chau
Publisher: Clarkson Potter
ISBN: 1984824279
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
A beautifully photographed and designed cookbook and guide to the cultural phenomenon that is boba, or bubble tea--featuring recipes and reflections from The Boba Guys tea shops. Andrew Chau and Bin Chen realized in 2011 that boba--the milk teas and fruit juices laced with chewy tapioca balls from Taiwan that were exploding in popularity in the States--was still made from powders and mixes. No one in the U.S. was making boba with the careful attention it deserved, or using responsible, high-quality ingredients and global, artisanal inspiration. So they founded The Boba Guys: a chic, modern boba tea shop that has now grown to include fourteen locations across the country, bringing bubble tea to the forefront of modern drinks and bridging cultures along the way. Now, with The Boba Book, the Boba Guys will show fans and novices alike how they can make their (new) favorite drink at home through clear step-by-step guides. Here are the recipes that people line up for--from the classics like Hong Kong Milk Tea, to signatures like the Strawberry Matcha Latte and the coffee-laced Dirty Horchata. For the Boba Guys, boba is Taiwanese, it's Japanese, it's Mexican, it's all that and more--which means it's all-American.

My Dream Job Guide B
Author: JINALI DAND
Publisher: Mindpop
ISBN: 9353001374
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
There is no denying that folklore plays an important role in shaping the beliefs and imagination of our children. But times today have changed and continue to change as you read this. The world is becoming increasingly competitive; rat race and herd mentality are among the terms that best define the lifestyle today. Inevitably, there needs to be something that helps our children prepare for this competition. But do we want to take away from them the stories that form their dreams—of kingdoms, of princes and princesses, and of magic. Absolutely not! How about, then, we do something that brings to them the best of both worlds—something that helps them dream and also educates them? Ones career is an important aspect of ones life. And this isn't something that, I believe, should be thought about a couple of years before one finishes school or maybe a couple of days after the results are announced. Undeniably, there is a gap between what we teach our children and what they need to learn. The aim to create the Role & Rollland™ My Dream Job Guide (A 26-book series on world professions) Series was to fill in this gap. The Role & Rollland™ My Dream Job Guide (A 26-book series on world professions) Series 1 is a set of 26 books, one for each alphabet. Each book covers ten professions, the names of which begin with that alphabet. For example, the book for the alphabet A covers professions like academic dean, acupuncturist, artistic gymnast, auditor, and so on. This synopsis outlines the vision and the concept behind these books and introduces you to the soul of our books—the Role & Rollland gang! The concept The concept is built around the play-and-learn and interactive learning techniques. The idea is to not just educate kids about a profession, but also tell them facts that will inspire in them a curiosity to know more on their own. There are activities and dress-up and role play games that will make the kids think from that professional's point of view. These games also involve friends and family, so the social interactions part is covered too! Each profession, apart from the content describing its key aspects in sufficient detail, includes the following sections: Polish your vocabulary!Good to know stuff!It's activity time!Let's go the extra mile!Fame crunch!Let's role play! The section names have been kept in a way that they aren't just attractive to sound but are also self-explanatory.
