Is it srsly that time of year?

QUESTION: when does this "holiday" season really start for you? For me, as soon as classes are over, although, I feel as though they should be finished with already. Srsly.

In more joyous news, we have the most fabulous, glory-be, celebration worthy coffee in right now. Well, one anyway, as choosing a favourite coffee is in some ways like choosing a favourite child, frowned upon and seldom practiced. I'm talking about Novo's Ethiopia Aricha 11. This coffee is like that best friend who surprises you with bursts of "flavour" every time you hang out. HUGE blueberry, sooo smooth, and seriously, this coffee can hardly do any wrong. Please, please, if you get an opportunity, come out soon to P&S and get your hands on a mug of this elixir before it's gone. Trust me, Aricha will definitely add to your holiday experience.

Also, fellow baristi, have you noticed – as Phil and I were discussing today – that when you are pouring rosettas like a rockstar, that is the one day you decide to not bring your camera? Fair friends, it seems to be the sad state of things as today I found myself in this position. Believe me, it doesn't happen often. Either that I'm without my camera or pouring as solidly as I was. At least I feel more prepared for the annual P&S xmas throwdown at our party next week. I think I will often fair well in these comps but I will need a little luck going against the likes of Ben, Will, Sebastian, and Phil. At least I think I can win the Ugly Sweater Comp!

I always have these great blog ideas while I'm at work but when I get home my brain is empty. Another sad story for sure because I know you all love it when I ramble aimlessly about nothing in particular.
