Chapter 1 — The Four-One-One of Excel
You have made it through the first chapter. Hopefully you’re inspired and looking at your
favorite handbag with a whole new perspective. You’ve learned about some of the coolest new
features in Excel 2007 and are ready to move on to something new. Reward yourself with a
soy Chai latte.
Did you know the word Chai is Farsi, and it means tea? For those of you who have seen it
with the Indian culture, yes, the same word in India is used to mean “tea with milk.” So the
truth is when you order Chai tea, you are actually ordering a “tea tea,” kind of like a mahi
mahi. Funny thing is in Farsi Mahi means fish, so you are then saying “fish fish.”
So why soy and not regular Chai? Because it’s fat free and very low in calories. After all,
soy is a bean. The cool thing is, you have to walk somewhere
to get a soy Chai, and not too many places have it either. So
as you walk around trying to find your soy Chai, you get the
exercise too, and that keeps good oxygen flowing in your body
and burns extra calories, and you may meet a lot of nice peo-
ple along the way. When you look at the calories of a regular
latte, compared to a soy Chai latte (this is what most places call
it), you will see a big difference.
