I’m rather fond of cheese. I mean, I did write a poem about cheese, didn’t I? 😉 So, for my birthday, Amy & Rachel decided to get me a gift certificate to igourmet.com. When Amy was telling me this on my birthday, I pictured “IgorMay.com” That’s Igor as pronounced in Young Frankenstein. So Igor may, but Igor may not…

Anyhoo, the gift certificate arrived today. I’ve been perusing the website for awhile and there’s a LOT of good things on the site. But I decided to stick with English cheeses, this time. Here is what I chose:

• The Dorset Drum English Farmhouse Cheddar (the best cheddar, according to the website)
• The English Cheese Assortment (contains Coombe Farm Cheddar, Royal Blue Stilton, and Sage Derby)
• The Saxonshires (a five layered cheese containing Double Gloucester, Caerphilly, Cheshire, Liecester, and Cheddar)

I figured this would give me a nice assortment to sample. My next task, when I’m out at Walmart or Meijer or something, is to get a decent cheese knife. I’ve got nice cutting boards which are great for showing off a nice sample of cheeses. (And you know, when talking about all the cool Christmas presents, I forgot to mention the cheeses that elsaf‘s brother’s GF sent along to judiang & me. Very tasty cheeses, though the cheddar was the most popular with my family & friends. Elsa also gave us some of the chocolates that they made during their Chocolate Party.)

So, let’s hear it for cheese! 🙂
