Article posted 3 March 2015 No, Starbucksâ€™ Chai Tea Latte is not real chai [via Facebook] posted 12pm

Oh yes it is â€œreal chai.â€ The word â€œchaiâ€ means â€œtea,â€ and â€œmasala chaiâ€ is just spiced tea. Etymology is not destiny, but anyone, including even the author of this article, will tell you that there is a huge range of variation in flavors and modes of preparation all throughout India and the Desi diaspora, which huge range of variation the Starbucks drink clearly falls into. You might think it is not very good chai, and I am inclined to agree with you, because more or less everything at Starbucks is way too sweet. But that is a different claim. #SorryHipsters

(EDITED: WILLIE NELSON IS NOT DEAD, THIS WAS A HOAX. It turns out this was a hoax. I really hate celebrity death hoaxes, but I am in this case really glad to be wrong. Cf. http://ift.tt/1zVSF44 ) Damn. Willie Nelson was one of the top-to-bottom greatest living musical artists in the world. This is a tremendous loss.

Yo Las Vegas.

This is pretty spur of the moment, but some of us will be doing a little impromptu food sharing downtown tonight on Fremont St. It should start about 8 and will basically consist of just giving out sandwiches, fruit, and water. So, if you aren’t busy and want to start off the night with a little neighborly sharing and community building, you should come down. (Contact me for details.)

O.K., so, recipe ideas for using up lots of eggs? There are only so many waffles, omelettes and pies that I can make.
