Good morning everyone,

Well, now that you know what the surprise is.....VEGEMITE! YAY

For all of those attending, I would like you to learn this little song. I thought in Nicole and Shane's honor, we could sing it for them.

Please go to:

lordy lordy Gini, are you always up and goofy this early in the morning I mean it must be 6:30 a.m. in LA How am I supposed to get through the rest of the day with dancing vegemites on my screen

[krazyaboutkatz]

This may be a dumb question but what is Vegemite? I've heard of it before but what is it made of? What does it taste like?

[gini]

It is a yeast extract and I guess there are three different kinds.

It is a savory, not sweet and it is salty.

You spread it like jam, very thin on toast.

I tried it............and I have no more to say on the subject

[lbaker]

.......it goes well with haggis I bet

[RICHARD]

during the Aussie Olympics they did some reports on the local customs, sights and foods...

Vegemite was one of the subjects.

I MITE try some, but I MITE not....




Thank you!!!!

Wow! I think I will bring a few cans of SPAM to go with that vegemite! We could make some tasty Vegemite and SPAM sandwiches! Who needs chicken and burgers, right??
LOL LOL

A SURPRISE ARRIVED TODAY FOR ALL OF US!

...And it is from Australia. Nicole and Shane have sent a very special surprise for all of us for our Barbecue weekend. This is our very own Miss Meow. It is so special for them to do this. I really wish that they could have delivered this in person...

Thank you Miss Meow for sending us a treat! That is so sweet! We all with our friends from far away could join us for the BBQ, but you will be there in spirit! We'll take lots of pictures for you!

**hugs**

Oh that brings back some horrible memories. I had a two-yr relationship with an English guy (won't go into detail here...) and he was addicted to Vegemite and Marmite. He put it on everything but as far as I'm concerned it's fit for the pit! And SPAM used to be my favourite when I was kid.

Have a really great time at the BBQ! I wish I could attend but that weekend I'm volunteering for a two-day dog-wash fundraiser for the Humane Society. Hmm, wash dog's privates, or fly to Cal for BBQ....tough decision. Really.
