The terminology might be second hand to someone who works at such a shop (we hope) but I bet can be confusing even to someone who orders the drinks regularly. Luckily, we have pictures!

  Not surprisingly that Eggnog Latte is the worst offender, but thankfully it doesn't come with whip cream. Even without the extra dollop of saturated fat this holiday latte contains almost 25 percent of your daily caloric intake. Want to see the caloric damage one holiday themed Grande can do? Then read

The Starbucks Gossip blog featured a letter from a barista sharing her concerns about the new drink title. Among her complaints? A new drink type will cause confusion among customers, and use of the the word "skinny" to describe a beverage is

  Hesser's Cooking for Mr. Latte isn't entirely a cookbook. It's a collection of articles that Ms. Hesser wrote for the New York Times about her courtship with the man who became her husband. They are all charming, appealing essays and at the end of each one (this is where the cookbook part comes in), she includes the three or four recipes

  Hesser's Cooking for Mr. Latte more than five times. Each time I read it, I dog ear a few more recipes that I think would be good to try. A couple of weeks ago, I had some friends over for dinner and while most of it was potluck, I took responsibility for the main course (baked salmon) and a side. I chose to make the couscous dish that Mr.

It's similar to the problem she has with the Elitist arugula at restaurants on the trail, where she can't figure out how to put it in her mouth so instead just jams it up her ass. [YouTube]

  Hillary's trip to the gas station not only threw the AP into a blind rage, but it also found our candidate struggling to operate the dastardly coffee machine. Don't call her a hypocrite yet, however!...

  Ah the irony! On the same day that their new earning report showed a 21% drop in quarterly earnings, widely attributed to a drop-off in customers, the Downtown Chico Starbucks, which I’ve been fiercely loyal to for the last five years, if not longer, lost me as a twice-daily customer on account of some stupid [...]
