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

KfH has done it this time. The Professor, still on his Indian cooking adventure, decided that he wanted to grow some of his own herbs. He started off with cilantro and chives, and put them in clay pots on the bedroom window sill. There’s a long drape over the window, so that the cats can’t…
Life is too short to persist in that which brings no happiness. Anyone who understands can tell the Dutch Scotsman that my nom de plume will not blight his computer screen from this day forward. I am done with that sector of cyberspace, and any sector with associated links. The playing field belongs to him….
It’s a song about addiction. Wilcox says that the motorcycle is simply a metaphor for drugs. I suppose I can see that. “Tell the truth, explain to me, How you got this need for speed.” I never quite took the song that way though. It works equally well for other forms of escapism. Sometimes the…
Mr. Squirrel has been coming to visit our balcony rather regularly. I couldn’t figure out why. He’d already decided he didn’t like my plants (by taking ample taste samples of each one, the turkey). I finally had to guess he was coming because he liked to tease the cats, especially ACfH. Now this doesn’t speak…
Things are better than yesterday, but only because I refuse to return to the place that was making me miserable. It’s a situation akin to addiction; I need that place, but it’s bad for me. I need these people, I’ve come to rely on and place my trust in many of the regulars there. But…

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??

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…
