What’s your poison? Today could be your day.
October 1st is Coffee Day, and it’s Sake Day, too. The national associations of these two beverages claim this day to celebrate their products.
On Coffee Day I’m enjoying a steaming mug of coffee made with Doutor espresso beans. These beans make bad espresso, but good strong coffee. If I had known today was a coffee celebration, I’d have saved some of the home-roasted Sumatran that my friend Brendan gave me but I finished it on Saturday morning.
Today is also Sake Day, as enforced by the 19th century law that sake production begin on October 1st. I have no plans to brew my own, but perhaps I will indulge in a glass at dinner tonight.
