Vegemite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vegemite is a dark brown food paste made from yeast extract, used mainly as a spread on sandwiches, toast and cracker biscuits, as well as a filling of pastries like Cheesymite scroll, in Australia and New Zealand. It is similar to British and New Zealand Marmite and to Swiss Cenovis.
Vegemite is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, and various vegetable and spice additives. The taste may be described as salty, slightly bitter, and malty - somewhat similar to the taste of beef bouillon. The texture is smooth and sticky, much like peanut butter. It is not as intensely flavoured as British Marmite and it is less sweet than the New Zealand version of Marmite.
Vegemite is popular with many Australians, who commonly consider it a national food and a cultural icon.[1] It can be found in shops around the world, particularly where there are large populations of Australian expatriates. Vegemite has not been successfully marketed in other countries, apart from New Zealand, and has failed to catch on in the United States, despite being owned by US food company Kraft Foods. When seen in the United States, the Vegemite label often does not contain the Kraft logo.

4.) What we call a jersey, they call a singlet.
5.) What we call biscuits, they call scones.
6.) What we call a bathroom, they call a toilet.
7.) What we call a trunk, they call a boot.

Patriots vs. Aussies

The team from Australia was an All-Star team,
with some of the best players from there.
They were good! Most of them could dunk!
Unfortunately, the Patriots lost
to them 50-73, but it was a good
game and we all had a blast with them!!

Please Pray for Dad..

For the past week and a half my dad has really been in
pain with his back. He has fallen off a ladder twice now, and
has been awake until 5 or 6 in the morning for the past week.
He already had a bad back, and now the accidents of falling
have really hit him hard. If you all could pray for him,
that would be wonderful!
