I don't think I will be in Australia any time soon, so if you send me some vegemite, I will speak in my best Australian accent, watch some Crocidile Dundee and pretend I am visiting with you. Please tell me if there is anything else I should be doing to act like I am visiting your homeland.<br /><br />(Marg - I am lying to Ms. P - I believe you!

You buy this cheese off the shelf, store it in your pantry and when you cut it , it has to go in the fridge. <br /><br />Vut jeanean, if it's just 70% water added how does it live out of the fridge? Please ask Mr. Janean for me? Seriously this stuff must be FULL of salt. <br /><br />The cheese covered dumplings are in fact hunks of potato. But dumplings sound good too!<br /><br />I am now googling a recipe for grits.Thanks...They sound really healthy. <br /><br />Marg your comment was practically Un-Australian...go sit in the corner. That new vegemite is DISGUSTING. <br /><br />Cynthia , trust me you dont have anything like vegemite. I'm serious. I'll send you some if you email me your address.

So far can't think of anything.<br /><br />Also, I am not sure if I believe Janean's husband's explanation of Velveeta. If it is cheese and water, why is it that it lives forever? It seems to have a life of its own. Sort of like a Twinkie. Seriously though, I love it mixed with Rotel and scooped up on a tortilla chip. My mother used to make me a Velveeta sandwich everyday for lunch.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542918863237046287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-81180864490534856002010-04-01T07:30:08.651+10:302010-04-01T07:30:08.651+10:30OMG that soup looks amazing.

I haven't bought a block of Kraft cheese like that since about 1980, and thanks for researching as I always thought Velveeta was like cream cheese on hormone treatment. I love your description of Vegemite, I would say it is pretty accurate. My mum is English, so we grew up on Marmite. I think Vegemite tastes gross, although I do like the new version, unlike every other person who grew up on Vegemite. However, to save my daughter from embarrassment in the school yard, she grew up on Vegemite. She has it on everything.

I think the time difference thingy confuses people. It's almost 4.30 pm Wednesday at your place. It's almost 7 am Thursday here . I get up and check my email and I'm often up between 6 and 6.30am. I respond to comments when I'm checking my emails before work. I NEVER write blog posts before work, because I'm barely awake. Then I toddle off to work for the day. (8ish to 5 ish depending on what I have on) We are lucky enough to be able to set our own hours at work. Our boss and organisation is fantastic like that. <br /><br />And Oh my goodness...vegemite is an australian icon. I've never met an American who likes it. It's like black road tar that we spread on bread and toast. Want me to send you some? It'll put hairs on your chest. We're all brought up with it so we're immune.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-13926627544863887902010-04-01T06:38:57.047+10:302010-04-01T06:38:57.047+10:30Okay, you have tempted me with a recipe that will ...Okay, you have tempted me with a recipe that will send my cholesterol to new heights. I will have to wait until The Baby comes home to try it though. Big says soup is not a meal. <br /><br />Here is something I would like to know. When do you work? Do you work mornings? If so when do you get up? You often end your blog with the comment that you have to get to work. Are you up at 3 a.m. blogging? Can you not sleep for thinking of blogs to write and therefore get up and blog? What is up Ms. P??<br /><br />Also, sort of unrelated, what the heck is a vegamite sandwich.

On the other hand most of my cookbooks are written in American so not a problem. I didn't have to buy 1970's imperial measures cause I was in 1970 and still have them. They're bright orange with a matching set of measuring spoons. Tupperware never wears out - I've tried. I can't eat salty foods, or potatoes, so that recipe is out but it looks delicious!Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15778110892578808447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-57616549350779335962010-04-01T02:30:38.471+10:302010-04-01T02:30:38.471+10:30Hey, forget the "chuckle", Miz P--I went...Hey, forget the "chuckle", Miz P--I went for full-out laughter when I read this post. You are so freakin funny! Love the run-on para--I am totally guilty on that count, but do usually spot it and fix it before I post.<br /><br />Are those enormous cheese-covered dumplings? It's so interesting to see how your food is packaged. Velveeta (yellow "cheese", not white)does come boxed, but you wouldn't want to keep it anywhere but the refrigerator. And the bacon...so much chunkier, almost like our Canadian bacon. Thin bacon, crisply fried and crumbled on top of the soup is how we'd see it.I do think this looks yummy, though!<br /><br />I keep Velveeta around for when I crave grits and cheese.

We dont measure butter in cups either. Sometimes that throws me with recipes from the US. There is a heap of online converters out there so it's all good. <br /><br />Thanks again for posting the recipe.

Isn't Velveeta the most amazing, yet scary product? We never eat things like that, either, but sometimes you just have to be devilish!<br />Is it difficult to convert US recipes (for you)? I did horrendously in conversions in school, but I do know the internet has some handy tools.
