Medium? You uncultured trash panda.

It's tall, grande, and venti. And you have to specify if it's hot or iced.

So it's hot grade vanilla latte.

No cheating trying to eliminate words.

Hot grande
Here in the civilised world it's small medium large.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Ooo I did too! 8
Medium iced decaf latte skim milk unsweetened vanilla

It depends how I'm feeling.

At minimum, it's hot tall chai latte.

At most, it's hot grande chai tea latte with coconut milk no water.

Hot grande
Here in the world where we do things wrong, like drive on the wrong side of the road, it's small medium large.

Medium vanilla latte .
That's it for me .

Since I'll be bouncing off of walls with a latte, that's usually my drink of choice before flights.

Regular Coffee: it would be no cream, no sugar

Try the no water thing. It's life changing.

DH has small hot decaf black.

Chai

Coconut milk

And I have tried both.

Yah, small cup is enough for me, too, but I need caffeine. So he and I differ there.

Oh, by the way, even if I do go to Starbucks every now and then, I refuse to use their "words" for cup sizes. I always say small, and they understand. Just sayin' . . .

But see the benefit of chai is that it doesn't have coffee in it...

I don't think you understand the word "benefits"

 

[MinnieM123]

But, but . . . why buy it, if it doesn't have caffeine? (You should at least get a discounted price for that.)

I refuse to get a overpriced tea at a coffee shop too when I get just bring a tea bag and plop it in. At Disney, I bought Dasani and mixed it with the cold infusion tea you get at the market.

I know how that is in terms of what my dad dealt with. My dad from a cooking stand point started to learn to cook from his grandma when he first learned to walk. Dad had a working mom before his youngest sister was born. His mom had his mother-in-law babysit him. She taught him cooking and some other stuff. Dad's sisters are not like him in the cooking department. His sisters belong on worst cooks in America.

Dad is a great cook, griller, and can do most baking. Dad is not as good as mom at baking cookies. Dad can do great at baking cookies depending the type and the nature of them.

As far as his mom goes, average at best cook. She was not the best at cookies, Thanksgiving turkey were bad under her. There is more about her in terms of her baking and cooking that I don't want to go into. I mean what I said about her cookies for a reason. Grandma used to give a plate of Christmas cookies for parents to eat at their home. What I can tell you is mom always been better at Christmas cookies than her mother-in-law. I know Grandma had mom make pumpkin pies for her for Thanksgiving although I found it odd.

I called it odd because because of her ego/pride. She had a jealous streak that even involves stuff not cooking. I was told that in the early part of my parents marriage, It was decided to have my mom to make the turkey. My grandpa according to my parents, said how the turned turned reminded him of his own moms turkey. The thing was grandma didn't allow mom to make the turkey after that because she couldn't stand my mom making a better turkey than she can. Grandpa also said the same with one of mom's pies and grandma didn't like that either.

Families!

My mom can make a roast or a Turkey. Frozen veggies and baked potatoes. I give her credit for a mean Irish Potato Salad. And out. I give her credit for how malnourished I always appeared

Chai is just another word for tea. Depending on how it's blended it may or may not have caffeine. I have earned my foodie card for today

My DD loves tea. She always brings it back refill mug and just fills it with hot water. Brings her own Tazo tea bags.

The problem with tea especially buying online (which is what I do). I buy enough for free shipping but that's a years worth of tea.

My favorite tea ever so far has been this tea. Of course, I like anything with cardamon in it.
