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

âCats are smarter than dogs. You can’t get eight cats to pull a sled through snow.â – Jeff Valdez I couldn’t sleep last night. I’ve had problems with insomnia for a few weeks now, but it didn’t bother me last night. I made a fire, cooked a batch of cardamom cookies, and watched the snow…
I love âem, but cats can be kinda jerks. For over five years I have attempted to grow catnip in a pot on the deck. I started it from seed, tended the sprouts, thinned them, and then watched as they continued to thin themselves into near oblivion. Since catnip is a perennial, I have allowed…
The vows were exchanged in the presence of family and friends, and I was privileged to be among the latter. I particularly liked the vows. “For richer or poorer, through sickness and health, for the rest of your lives” was stripped down to the barest of bones. Take a piece of writing, and start removing…
Well, the Aspirus movement seems to be growing slowly but surely. I continue to get daily hits from search engines that have been instructed to seek out “aspirus” on the net, but now I note I am not the only Dear Diary journal to come up on these searches. I also note with interest that…
And apparently Hamipik is down. Guess I won’t be adding any pictures of SLFC to this entry.
Yup, Frannie. I returned to school at 36. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I originally went to undergraduate school, but fouled up big time. I ended up changing majors from bio to psych, thereby making me effectively unemployable upon graduation. After all, what does a psych major do if they don’t go on…

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…
