So, hey you guys.  Have you ever heard of this place called Sardinia?  A SUPPOSED island in the middle of the Mediterranean, which is kind of between Italy, Corsica, and North Africa.  Where balmy breezes gently brush past white sands, only to gently sway palm trees laden with coconuts and monkey butlers to and fro, only to reveal a delicious swirly margarita machine tucked into a beautiful grotto, surrounded by tropical flowers and hula dancers and probably a white tiger.  And most likely a crocodile in a tuxedo is  sitting at a grand piano, gently tinkling away and singing Harry Belafonte tunes.  Or something like that.  I may or may not have just taken a lot of Zicam.

But, seriously.  I don’t know if it’s because it’s cold and rainy in Brooklyn, but Sardinia looks pretty sweet right about now. Relatively hilly and with craggy cliffs leading up to the blue, temperate ocean, it looks like the setting for a James Bond movie, and is clearly home to the craziest and most awesome pirate people on the planet.

Pretty sure Grace Jones, as the lovely and terrifying May Day, lives on a Viking Ship moored off the coast of Sardinia...

Come closer, my dears.  I know we haven’t seen each other in a long time, but I’m back and I’m ready to talk.  Ring ting a ling!  It’s 2012!  It’s a year of great, mystifying, exciting things that are sure to tantalize and amaze and I am officially here, ready to report back to you.

So I’ve been absent since June 2011.  Eh – it’s good to take a break every now and then.  You come back to things you haven’t been able to focus on and learn to relove projects that you’ve neglected.  It’s like sending your kids to summer camp…But what good stuff really happened in the past few months.  Nothing really (just this, this, we all got into this, and everybody snickered about this. If you need a reminder of anything else that happened, see here or here.)  What else.  There was the Second Cheesemonger Invitational.  There was the reinvention of the Bedford Cheese Shop website.  And then there were the holidays – which is a mental dead zone for cheesemongers anyways…

So, a lot has happened, I apologize for the delay, but guess what!  It’s the New Year!  We can forget about the past and look forward to the future!  Finally.  I’ve been waiting since last January…
