Tuesday - March 23

We think someone named today "Free Food Day" because there are a ridiculous amount of corporate food giveaways and deals today.

Luckily, or... unluckily, Seattle is a corporate headquarter for two of these food establishments, making it basically a necessity for us fresh-out-of-college kids to grab a free bite to eat.

For breakfast this morning, not really off our normal routine, we went to Starbucks for Free Pastry Day.:

FREE Reduced-Fat Very Berry Coffee Cake and Banana Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

(notice we are still watching the fat levels in our free breakfast deserts)

"I think this is glazed in crack," coworker A said as she took a bite of the choco-chip pastry, "because I already want another one." (she still has more than half left, mind you)

Of course, less free, but equally enjoyable we had to get a beverage. Our choices this morning were a sort, 1/2 pump Vanilla, non-fat latte and a Grande non-fat, no water, dirty Chai. yummmm.

We're also planning on getting a free cone from Ben & Jerry's after work... because it's free and it's sunny out so there's no point not to. AND, Seattle's own Ivar's seafood restaurant is celebrating its founder's 150th birthday today, giving away an entree for $1.50 when you buy one at the original price.

Breakfast, dinner and desert for $1.50? We'll take it, even if it makes us fat.

Crazy Cake Lady celebrates free food day everyday. Apparently everyone in the office missed the other free food opportunities today though because they ate the freaking Blueberry Streusel Cake before we could get a picture of it. We caught the last girl wrapping the last piece of the cake in a piece of foil to eat it later. (secret squirrel??) We were going to ask her if we could take a picture, but we thought that would be too awkward.

So, in honor of the late Blueberry cake, we present:

A Pile of Blueberries

Is it even blueberry season yet?

Well, if not, you know it's doughnut season because it's Tuesday:

Tuesday = Doughnut Day

Everyyyy Tuesday.

Enjoy all your free food today! And remember, sometimes it's OK to let life get you fat even though you try so hard to avoid work fat. (when it's free!!) ;)
