Iced Tea Party Patriot

It has been said that in China, tea plays an important, indispensable role in daily life. Indeed, there is a saying that confirms this: “Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin the day.”

Speakeasy Drink Design Philosophy with Cameo by RuPaul

Wok Carefully

Yesterday I was chatting with Michelle, a fellow San Antonio resident, and reader, about my inability to reach out to San Antonio readers about the importance of switching to healthy cuisine, Chinese or otherwise, and the marked resistance that I am facing in being able to get people to understand the risk factors associated with the fast food craze here.
