Off the Beaten Path: Rabbit Season in Flushing Chinatown

Where do I find the recipe for the cha xiong tu? I live a LOOONG way from NYC. I love rabbit and I love Chinese food in general, so I'd love to try my hand at it! You can bet I'll be at Tian Jin next time I hit NYC!

Starbucks Introduces the 'Vivanno' Drink: Looks, Tastes Like Smoothie, But Not One

I'm not a regular Starbucks customer (there isn't one where I live!), but recently I was on vacation and got a chocolate Vivanno. It was delicious, first of all, had enormous amounts of protein and fiber, and it was absolutely all I needed for breakfast! I tried the orange mango the next day. Also delicious. Don't know why there are all these comments about how Starbucks shouldn't be selling smoothies. Ridiculous. It's a top quality product, healthier than most people's sweet roll breakfasts, and certainly has a place on the menu of a top quality place like Starbucks. Keep up the good work, Starbucks! I'm home from vacation now, but I'll drive 30 miles to the nearest Starbucks just to get one. I did it yesterday!

I don't think the Starbucks dude was trying to advertise or market... and i agree that calling a banana "pure starchiness" and not fruit is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. Naked juice is made from fruit.. then theres a banana. Charge a little more for over 20g of protein and throw some fiber in there- thats not just charging extra for naked juice. It's a Vivanno. Plus at my Starbucks they give me an extra scoop of protein because they love me. Plus Starbucks ROCKS!!! Homeslice can just get em some naked juice and cry in a corner.

Starbucks Introduces the 'Vivanno' Drink: Looks, Tastes Like Smoothie, But Not One

I only drink coffee in the mornings and because I'm not a "morning person", I don't have time to stop at Starbucks before going to work. Since coffee isn't something I want at lunch or after work, I rarely go to coffee houses. However, today, after my lunch hour workout, I wanted a treat. I was thinking something cold and "rich tasting". I passed by the Starbucks and thought I would treat myself to a frappacinno. However, once inside, I started feeling quilty about indulging and was regretting my impulse to go there. I asked what kind of iced coffee was available and was told about the Vivanno. I got the banana chocolate and it was delicious...cold, creamy (tasted "rich")...and no guilt! Call it what you want! I don't care! With all the fiber and protein in it, it will hold me up just fine, so I'll pass today on my usual lunch of a frozen diet dinner. Starbucks just made a new customer!
