Give me credit: I smelled the vegemite. Let’s start slow with this, eh?

Remember last year when I complained about the huge cherry tree behind my apartment? This, by the way, is the same cherry tree I also exclaimed over when it was covered with flowers in the spring. Well this year is worse than last. Every single one of those flowers has once again become a cherry…
Well, it was too late for this year’s festivities, but maybe they’ll repeat next year. Seattle beverage company introduces Thanksgiving in a bottle – by Joshua Lipsky on 11/28/03 for Meatingplace.com Seattle-based Jones Soda Co. introduced a limited supply — about 6,000 bottles — of its Turkey & Gravy Soda for Thanksgiving this year.

Iâm not quite as naked as the day I was born; a small triangle of fabric stands between that and my current status. SPF 70 sunscreen is applied to the exposed private bits that havenât seen real sunlight since I was old enough to know to keep my shirt on in public. I elect to…
I spent a good hunk of yesterday evening listening to different internet radio stations. I was in a mood to listen to music while The Prof was out teaching his night class, but I didn’t want to listen to anything tried and true. I might live near a major metropolitan area, but most of the…
I’ve been taking pictures throughout the day. It makes me feel like I have some control over a situation that is quite out of control. This was my deck at 2:00 pm. My deck at 3:30pm. My deck at 7:00. I stuck a yardstick in the snow. Right now, at 7:30, it reads 21.5 inches….
There’s a relatively new diarist afoot, and one who has captured my interest. Check out Derna’s Fund Raising Diary Her plans have trapped my attention, my admiration and my jealousy. I’m going to try and do a little fundraising at work for her. Lord knows, the Girl Scout Cookie Mothers, and the Daffodils for Cancer…

Dear Salamander,
Thank you for your kind comment in my diary. I really appreciate it. Murphy is not just a dog, he is very, very special to me. I am grateful that you and so many others here understand just how much a part of our lives our animal companions become.
I love your kangaroo. So in Australia they have joeys in stockings instead of pouches? That’s almost as interesting as having Easter Bilbies instead of bunnies. I also love wallabies and other marsupials, birds, non-marsupial mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects.
Just not the deadly dozen. I like pythons but I will not handle any snake with poison.
Thanks again & Love,
E.L.
how cute!

Ya, know, vegemite isn’t too horrific if spread with peanut butter on toast. I just don’t suggest doing that before 11 a.m.
LMAO!!
You my friend are scared too?? Its not a smelling salt, its food!!
OK, this is what you do……
Toast some bread (lightly only)
Add some butter to toast
Then use a scrapping of the vegemite to cover the toast, open your mouth, eat and say "yum yum" as you rub your tummy. !!
Listen…this is basic food that babies start on whenever they start sucking toast.This is the core, the life blood of aussies !!
You cannot let me down on this!! LOL
Aussies will kill for a jar or tube of vegemite if overseas!!
Bon Appetite !!!

I think Vegemite is ok, but the Kid LOVES it! I think he’d eat it every day if I kept it on hand. I’ve got no idea why he loves it as much as he does.

How does vegemite relate to marmite? I see Marmite in the gravy aisle in the grocery store.
Never been brave (or drunk?) enough to buy a whole jar just for a taste test, though.
BLECH to vegemite.
Re your comment, I wondered the same. I am assuming that being the paramedic I did not get all in infomation that the doctors passed. However, I’ve been around long enough now to wonder…
