It's time to head out to your favorite coffee shop - and celebrate International Coffee Day.
 
Many coffee shops have specials and even free coffee - check it out.  There are coffee contests, and many new coffee products out now including coffee candy.  Coffee recipes are floating all around the net too.
 
Actually, the date is not exact.  There are various dates, depending on what country you are in.  Some use September 29, some October 1.  For a complete list, read the full Wikipedia article.
 
We like to think every day is 'coffee day'.  To have fun with this idea, we have a new mug for sale!

We are finding that taking more time to cook makes all the difference.  A well-cooked vegan meal tastes a lot better than a meal with meat that is not prepared well.  In fact, vegan meals can be every bit as tasty as a meal with meat - especially if you serve a nice coffee with, or after, the meal.
 
We like to have an Espresso after dinner. Our favorite espresso machine is the Breville Barista Express - you can buy it at a great price on Amazon.

If you want to be healthier, cook more vegetables!  One of the best ways to do that is to get home-delivered vegetables.  We just found a new service doing just that - and at a great price.  It is ImperfectProduce.com ($10 off your first order!) is a new web service that delivers healthy vegetables right to your door, weekly.  You are much more likely to cook, if the vegetables are already there; you do not need to go shopping.  Learn some new receipes, make a great meal, and end it with an Espresso - perfect!  You get $10 off your first order if you sign up here!
