TIM TAMS

[yumberry]

So i know I've been dead to this world of live journal, but oh my god, they have tim tams at WORLD MARKET. Did you people know this?? AND, I went to get my hit of Vegemite and I guess the FDA has never really approved of it's entrance into the US so it's on fucking hold. But they have marmite. They're both yeast extracts, people! sheesh. So now

Tim Tams at World Market! Where were they three years ago when I was living in the bay area, omg? You have failed me, California.

A hold on vegemite (pronounciation: va-je-mih-tee) shipments, oh noes! What's a girl to do without her yeast, man?

(Haha, taken out of context, that sounds like something quoted in Lincoln's Ibex.)

[yumberry]

Ohhhh Lincoln!! lol. I still have those issues somewhere in the depths of my closet back home.

Do they not have WM in hawaii? Well, why would they need such a store there anyway...except for the fact that they sell tim tams. hah.

How are you doing? What have you been up to? I haven't read ANY lj entries, so maybe I'll find out once I read yours.

otay!! olay!

1) Diet? Diet? What is this word you speak of, oh lush euroasian miss?

2) Marmite is bullshit. No self-respecting aussie would eat that sweetened trash, even if vegemite were to become extinct. I spit on marmite. Stop it now! If you give me your address (which I lost in the upheavel of joyously tossing out med notes) I will send you some bonafide vegemite.

As for the FDA banning it, after that made the FRONT PAGE of every newspaper here, they wrote back saying it was a load of crap. They apparently haven't banned it and nor are the searching aussies for it. Yet, despite their vehement denials, the product remains unavailable to poor desperate consumers who are *gasp* resorting to marmite. Oh the FDA and their strange laws regarding folate.

Oh and Yay!!! *hugs you madly* hello Yumi....

*new years resolution is to stay in better contact with people she loves. and has bought new stationery to prove it!*

[yumberry]

Oh no, I have Aussie royalties, man, so I didn't even THINK of purchasing that M-word crap. HAH.

So it's folate? I don't get it. But it still isn't approved, right? I haven't checked the news or anything...all I know is that the shelf marked VEGEMITE is EMPTY. and now so is my SOUL. AGH!!! Oh brown salty goodness, how I crave thee. lol.

Kate!! So nice to hear from you. Well, it's not like I've been keeping in touch with all my loved ones either! seriously. Early (or really fucking late) new year's resolution--stop procrastinating on dumb shit like lab reports and proposals and use the available time to keep in touch with buddies! arg.

Diet, as in my skin is getting worse by the day and I think it stemms from no sleep and bad food. But tim tams are good for you, so what am I talking about? hah. Also, I'm not fitting into some pants and I'm so poor, it's economically worth it to cut down on food so I spend less shopping and don't have to dish out mula to buy new jeans. lol.

[maryshmary]

Oh my god, the most delectible cookies on planet earth. They have them in Australia and we ALL got addicted to them...to find that they don't sell them in the USA. But now they do!! Go to WM, go in the cookie section, look for ARNOTTS brand cookies--they're chocolate covered square beauties. I would start with the carmel filled kind. Oh my god. Pure bliss.

how are ya?

[maryshmary]
