Yes, this post is about coffee (and food)

On Wednesday morning at 10:49am I received this message. The beeping of receiving a text woke me up. Yes, I was in bed slumbering at 10:49am.

Happy national coffee day to some of 

my most favorite coffee gals! :) love ya

National Coffee Day? What is this you speak of? I have never heard of such a thing. Apparently it's kind of a big deal and lots of places were giving away free coffee. I just didn't know where any of them were, so I used it as an excuse to go get a cup. As if I needed an excuse. 

I had a massage, so I couldn't get away until later in the afternoon. Then I had to get lunch too....where to go? Where to go? OH---I know! Parker and Otis! You're shocked, I can tell. 

MG went with me. It was a lunch date wherein we ate delicious sandwiches, cupcakes, and drank some warm beverages. 

Tuna salad for MG. She's a good friend, she always waits for me to take pictures before eating. Isn't that nice?

Grilled Pimento Cheese for moi. 

And this Pesto Pasta Salad. It's the best; fresh, spring-like flavors. Amazing. 

Then MG went to get a chai and came back with these awesome coconut cupcakes. I love coconut. I need to cook with it more. 

And I had to have a Pumpkin Spice Latte...had to. There's a new barista at P&O and I've been skeptical, but she did a good job. ( :

Yummy. So much better than Starbucks, which isn't a bad Pumpkin Spice latte, but this one was just more naturally pumpkin-y. Yes, I know these things.

And that was the coffee I had for National Coffee Day. (Which doesn't have an official website that I could find anywhere.)
