In case Thanksgiving doesn't make your week festive enough, the day after will be Black Friday Beer Fest. A nice way to spend a couple of hours in the afternoon and recuperate from a day of shopping, college football, or (in my case) work. I'm very excited to see that Arrogant Bastard will be on the beer list for the event.

And, in other yeast-related news, here's a nice tutorial on how to cut pain epi. It's a scissor cut you can use on a batard or baguette type of loaf that makes for a really nice presentation of your bread.
