Saturday morning my friend Laura and I made plans to meet for coffee and a chat at what might be my new favourite little coffee spot…The Parsonage Cafe / Fernwood Coffee Company . I’ve actually been there once before but for some reason never blogged about it…I should have because my latte was perfection and the quiche was to die for.
This weekend I ordered up another fabulous latte…complete with coffee art…
For food I opted for a simple sesame bagel with cream cheese…
And they offered me homemade preserves…I chose strawberry rhubarb.
When we finished up our coffees we decided to hit up a couple of the local Christmas fairs. A small craft fair followed by a large artisan fair. We kept our blood sugar up with samples of antipasto and organic chocolate while we wandered.
No Christmas prezzies were purchased but I did walk out with a knit neck warmer for myself…um, and fresh fudge. :)
After we went our separate ways I headed to the mall to cross a few errands off my list. While I was there I decided I might as well pick up a bag of Starbucks Christmas Blend and since I used my registered card I received a tall reduced fat egg nog latte at no charge. ho ho ho!
Spelled my name right!
Back at home I was very glad for the homemade chicken soup in my refrigerator. A bagel and coffee definitely wasn’t enough food for the day!
After a few hours of relaxing on the couch it was time to head out for a couple of casual cocktails with my friend Nicole at Clive’s Classic Lounge . I opted to enjoy our visit and skip playing food paparazzi for the night. The cocktails and company were worth the break from the camera. :)
