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

Went to the Younger Sister’s last night (by invitation). Elder Sister was there too … and she’s started smoking again. That’s a big disappointment, but it’s ultimately up to her to quit. She went outside to smoke, which I appreciated. Between the maple trees opening this weekend, the last of the bronchitis, and my asthma…
Found an excuse to be out of the office most of the morning. I’d gotten a really weird specimen (calcified hernia pouch) and saved it for my old pathology professor, who continues to be my mentor of sorts, as well as a good friend. He works at the large animal complex of the university I…
Tonight I try my hand at making class beads. With my Kreskin-like ESP I sense a bunch of “playing with fire” jokes coming my way. No matter. It’s a five-week course at the local high school, one night a week. It was relatively inexpensive, and it will give me something else to do other than…
WHY must that man always want to discuss that damned car of his at 1:00 in the morning? Now he’s asleep and I’m awake, and once again I am NOT a happy camper. That settles it. I’m blowing up the car repair shop AND shooting him. THEN maybe I’ll get some sleep. Or at least…
I go to Main and find that Btfsplk is apparently alive and well after all after all these years. Either that, or some evil super-genius is even now as I type has set up an room with hundreds of laptops and thousands of cats and unprotected keyboards everywhere. Shark Boy and Lava Girl need to…
Some stupid questions, some thought provoking questions. 1. If you died tomorrow who would you leave everything you own to?: The Prof, my sisters, the zoo. There would be a special stipend set aside for care of the cats. 2.If you had to go live in Borneo for the rest of your life and you…

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!
…..but have you tried the vegemite??
*smiles*

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…
