After a whirlwind weekend away from home, I was so exited to see a package from my Secret Santa waiting for me in my mailbox this morning. After tearing it open like a child on Christmas morning, I was touched by the amount of thought and care put in to it.

I received a book about beer and food, and some amazing selections of whole coffee beans that I of course used immediately for my morning pick me up. I also have no complaints about the sticker I found while reading. This book completely took me by surprise -as it is not only a cookbook but also explores the science and why behind styles of beer paired with food. This included offering suggestions based on craft beer staples that I myself regularly have on hand. Essentially, I loved the book and can’t wait to use it regularly.

Thank you again practicalmetaphysics for the gift - this was my first year participating and while I loved sending my own gift, receiving a gift like this really got me in the holiday spirit.
