You may not know this, but someone somewhere is in charge of designating certain days for certain foods. Literally, every food has its special day.
And obviously, there’s a lot of overlap. So, rightfully, we don’t bother to celebrate them all.
Several sources say that today is National Gourmet Coffee Day.
(Just to be fair, it is worth noting that a few sources also say that it is also National Peking Duck Day.)
Anyway, I think it’s worth taking the time to tip your hat to good coffee. After all, look what it does for us.
It keeps us awake. That’s a good one. It also serves as a reason to gather with friends or just take a breather from a busy day.
But it also plays wingman to the definitive dessert, in my opinion.
Pie.
And, by the way, National Pie Day is Monday.
Just dare to dream a flavor of pie and it comes true. Fill it with fruit or luscious cream. Top it with mile-high meringue, whipped topping or even ice cream.
Who cares? It’s pie.
Here’s a picture of what gourmet coffee looks like in my house. I’m on the way to the store now to pick up ingredients for a story about salads, so I’ll see if I can find a slice of pie worth celebrating.
Check back for a picture, and a couple of recipes too.
