Hey Caffeine Junkies, It’s National Coffee Day!!!!
When you seek energy, comfort, familiarity, something sweet, something bitter, something hot, or even cold, coffee has you covered. It’s always there for you. During those dreaded 8 AM classes and those long all-nighters, we can confidently reach for a nice cup of joe or several. So why not take today to celebrate its versatile and pleasant existence?
Coffee, like most discoveries, was accidental, although I am starting to believe all the best things are. It was discovered by an Ethiopian shepherd named Kaldi in 750/800 AD, who is sort of a historical mystery. Legend tells that he was herding his goats when all of a sudden he looked up and couldn’t believe his eyes as his goats were dancing! He investigated the cause and found a magical energetic berry that prevented his goats from sleeping at all. He reported this finding to his local monastery where a beverage was made from these berries and boom- coffee!
So today, celebrate being a coffee fiend, drink as many cups as you want (within reason)! Hit up Mountain City Coffeehouse and Creamery, or Clatter Cafe, right here in Frostburg! Today, be a dancing goat!
