National Coffee Day

I am not supposed to drink coffee. The PH of my mouth is very acidic (if you don't understand what that means, Google it!), and coffee is one of those beverages that I am supposed to abstain from in order to be happier, healthier, and live longer (so the doctor says). However, I am in college and every once in a while, I just NEED that coffee fix. So, on those rare occasions, I make an exception to my "eat healthy so your teeth don't rot away" rule. Today was one of those days. I allowed myself to have some delicious coffee because it was FREE at 7-11! Today is National Coffee Day! :D Here is the story of how coffee came about...

Where did coffee come from? A group of hopped-up goats.

"According to the National Coffee Association, an Ethio­pian goat herder named Kaldi was the first to realize coffee’s wonders: “It is said that he discovered coffee after noticing that his goats, upon eating berries from a certain tree, became so spirited that they did not want to sleep at night.”

Today, those berries are then harvested and processed, the beans dried, milled and exported, the coffee tasted, roasted, ground and brewed — all to get to that steaming mug in front of you."

So, go get your free coffee, forget about the consequences, and celebrate this day with me! :)
