Keep an eye out for me on the BBCA social media sites making a face - I was just photographed as part of an "Americans eating Marmite" project they're doing in the kitchen
...you mean you ate it voluntarily??

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It was for a good cause! Ok, it was for the amusement of the Brits who were laughing at us. But yeah, why not?

But Marmite is TASTY!
I was introduced to it by (to tie so many discussions together with geography) a South African woman decades ago, and have not looked back.
Vegemite, I go back and forth on. Too smooth, less of a good soup base.

It wasn't terrible, just...salty. I can see it being a useful ingredient for umami, like anchovy paste or soy sauce, but I think in order to enjoy it on toast you probably had to grow up with it.

I am onerous tasking it up. Called to make a dentist appointment, but they can't squeak me in until the 30th. Now I must call my doctor and my optometrist.

Okay. I am calling the doctor. I do not want to go, but hey, whatever he says to me, I can respond with "la la la I quit smoking la la la."

Because books.
Can you read all the emails I don't want to, shrift? I'll give you a cookie.
Onerous, anxiety-making things seem worse on a gray, rainy day.

It is freaking cold here, and the sky keeps spitting snow off and on. It's not a festive, pretty snow. It reminds me more of cat dander.

Totally, Amy. Except I've eaten so much today that you can keep & eat the cookies.
I'm only doing this right now because I have too much money left on my FSA.
Okay. I'm in next Thursday at 8am, because if I can't drink coffee or eat beforehand I might as well get it over with early, am I right?
Now optometrist!

Hah, I am feeling stressed because I already onerous-tasked a while back, but now I have an appointment today, a hair appointment tomorrow, a dentist appointment next week, and an eye appointment the week after. Too many appointments!
