Met my friend Sally at Foster's Market in Chapel Hill. Fresh baked orange walnut scone and hot coffee. My theory of self-serve coffee is to take about a quarter of a cup at a time. That way it's hot coffee. There's a reason those old fashioned diners used to serve coffee in those short, shallow cups. Kept the customers with hot coffee. The mug thing just doesn't work for me. It's easier on servers - fewer refills - but for us lovers of piping hot coffee, it's not happening. Self-serve = hotter better.
Sally had a latte and house-made granola with fresh fruit. I like the half-and-half strawberries/bananas thing they put together here. I tend not to be a big granola fan. But if I have it, it has to be awesome homemade stuff and I pretty much prefer it as a dry snack. It turns the milk sweet and I find it cloying and unpalatable. But Sally seemed to like it and we talked about everything and then took a long walk in the rain along Bolin Creek. I love breakfast. It makes the rest of the day okay.
