Food(less) Journey

Waving goodbye to the beautiful leaves of summer as they beautifully decayed in splendid shades of yellow, orange and red. And now it looks like this outside. Beautiful! Right? I need some coffee.... Oh there it is! Tall skinny blonde with soy milk... With one pump of vanilla. Yum!
