Coffee is more than just a beverage. People have been enjoying coffee in many many ways for many years. Even our country's Founding Fathers enjoyed coffee! There were many people throughout history who had some good things to say about coffee. Here are a few of my favorites:
“The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce.” --Oliver Wendell Holmes
“Among the numerous luxuries of the table…coffee may be considered as one of the most valuable. It excites cheerfulness without intoxication; and the pleasing flow of spirits which it occasions…is never followed by sadness, languor or debility.” --Benjamin Franklin
"I'd rather suffer with coffee than be senseless." --Napoleon Bonaparte
Whether you boil it in a can like the cowboys of old, pour hot water over the beans like the founding fathers, slow brew it thick as mud like the Italians, or get it Pumpkin Spiced like the basic white girls, today is the day to celebrate your love for this fantastic beverage.
Today, I celebrate by mixing my coffees. Having some McDonald's brewed in the pot and having some Starbucks in the fridge, I simply mixed the two together just because I can and there wasn't enough of either separately for a full cup.
In times past, I have celebrated this day by going to Starbucks and telling them my name was Superman to see if they would put it on the cup. They never disappoint.

Now that you know how I celebrated, let me know how YOU celebrated!
