Well, there are your culprits. Using skim milk was mistake #1. It won't get
creamy with that (and it's another lesson in how it doesn't pay to think
you can get by with lower fat).

Mistake #2 was 1.3 cups of tapioca. Unless you were making a vat, this is
way, way too much. Think how much rice you need in rice pudding.

It doesn't take much time to recognise that indeed, you'd end up with a
gummy mass. Good spackling compound.
