Food & Drink

I've had an aversion to McDonald's ever since I was in fifth grade. I ate a quarter-pounder for lunch, wend rock-climbing with my boy scout troop, and then threw up all night long. I've broken down and eaten from the popular fast food joint a few times since then, but I still frequently regret it afterwards. That's probably why my stomach turned just from looking at this...

When a Hong Kong Starbucks employee thought a woman named Virginia was actually named Vagina, we laughed. We figured why not keep the laughs coming and found some more Starbucks name fails. We also included what

You know what they say -- when in Rome, do as the Romans do; when in Hong Kong, get called "Vagina" at a Starbucks.* That must be how that saying goes, because that's exactly what happened to a woman named Virginia who was visiting Hong Kong recently, and she wasn't too happy about it.

Groceries are unloaded and the prep has begun for our Taste of Home Cooking school tonight at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins.
