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

The weather forecast calls for four to six inches of snow in my area this evening. I’m told that the storm’s edge is now at the state capital, putting it about one hundred miles from here. I’m patient. I’m in no rush to be hit with accumulating snow and lows in the single digits (they’re…
Yesterday morning the sun was out full and was streaming in the bedroom window. The cats like to bask on top of the dresser at the window, and it’s become prime territory to have spats over during peak sunning periods. The Warrior Princess usually wins this prized location, but yesterday she temporarily abdicated it to…
When my friend arrived yesterday morning, the weather was overcast but dry. We decided to risk the airshow. It was poorly attended (no surprise) but ironically they parked us as far as possible from the main show site. I don’t speed along quite as quickly as I used to, so it took nearly fifteen minutes…
The Professor and I ended up seeing FotR with my contact in MIS (a huge Tolkien fan) and his wife (who has never read any of the books and wasn’t sure if there were one or two “b’s” in “hobbit”). My correspondence with him about the movie this morning follows. Some spoilers are included, I’m…
It’s odd. Elder Sister turned 60 this week. It brings home just how close my own sixtieth is, and how much time I’ve already experienced. I can’t find any original words to describe the feeling this inspires, which is as profound, bittersweet and incredulous as any I’ve experienced. How did it come to this? Reading…

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…
