Sounds like a FOTW to me!!

BTW, how'd you go with the Vegemite???

Well, I like it!  Don't get me wrong-- I'd take chocolate over Vegemite any
day.  But it isn't bad at all.  The first time I must've put too much on
because it was incredibly salty.  So next time I used less and went with
unsalted butter.  And I went out and bought a jar of Marmite (I know, bite my
tongue!) to compare-- to me they are pretty similar although not exactly the
same, but I haven't had enough of either yet to put my finger on the
difference. (I suspect I'll be eating plenty of both, as no one else in my
house will touch the stuff!)

I have a picture of a LEGO representation of big jar of it that Harro and I
ran into in Myers Pacific Fair... I had no idea it was a Kraft product! (I'm
vaguely embarrassed about that.)

Harro tried to get me to try some but I refused. I read the ingredients.

OK, so what are the ingredients?  I am a vegetarian and judging by its
name, it might be something I could try :)

So thanks Ross for hauling that little jar in your luggage halfway around the
world!  Are you home yet or are you still in Canada?

He's still in CA I think, motoring towards Toronto for Train1, after which
he's coming to see me!
