I’m not going anywhere, but I’m not exactly doing much with the blog at the moment. And I feel terrible about it. But frankly, the sky is falling here at work and I’ve got my hands full. In fact, in the last two days I’ve done about 130 zahm/air samples in an effort to suss out some aggravating packaging issues, and this is on top of my regular duties: taste panels, meetings, etc.
So I haven’t forgotten about you, dear readers. I think about you every day, and about how you must be yearning for new material. I’ll try to get something out soon, but I can’t promise that it will be as quick as you’d like.
PS: “Zahm/air samples” refers to the Zahm-Nagel device used to test for carbonation and headspace air levels in packaged beverages, in case you were wondering.

This is a great blog, and it doesn’t depend on timeliness. Abandon your guilt. Maintaining a blog means coming to terms with the regularity it demands–and guilt can be a bitter spice in the kettle.
