Okay, my Aussie readers you must visit author Donna Fleisher’s blog here and read her most recent post after a brave attempt tasting our wonderful spread, Vegemite, after I sent her some samples to satisfy her curiosity!
I am glad to say that although curiosity killed the cat, Donna has survived her experience – just!
While you are there check out Donna’s fantastic book trailers for her Homeland Heroes series. The final instalment, Standing Strong releases in October, 2007. I can’t wait 🙂

Yep, vegetables should not be made into dessert, Donna!!! There are culinary rules, you know – LOL!!!!Cee Cee – you probably mean vegemite but I am going to assume you mean pumpkin pie!!!!!!

Oh, guys, you’re missing out. Pumpkin pie is really good. 🙂

Pumpkin pie, sweet potatoe pie, carrot cake, rice pudding (is rice a veggie?), tomato jelly, corn bread with honey, celery and peanut butter … YES, PEANUT BUTTER … all make delightful desserts. Swirl some Cool Whip all over …So what do you swirl on Vegemite?You do know I am going to give this one more go. I’ll be sure and give you a full report after the conference. (I just know Camy will love it. Did you see her most recent blog entry? Scallion pancakes??)Hey! Another great veggie dessert!: )

I did see Camy’s pancakes! Be sure to take a photo when you do the vegemite taste test!Umm….what is Cool Whip? I do know peanut butter and celery though – yum!Let’s see, Vegemite in sandwiches goes very nicely with cheese!!For a real dessert you will need to come to Oz and I will make you pavlova – extra yum!

Pavola … even sounds delightful.Okay, so what kind of cheese goes best with Vegemite? American? ; )And no wonda y’all from down unda don’t like pumpkin pie if ya don’t know what Cool Whip is!??! The two go together like … peanut butter and jelly.Okay, Cool Whip is the frothy, delightfully sweet, brilliant white … stuff … that you plop down on things like brownies, pumpkin pie, any kind of pie, a hot fudge sundae … etc. But be sure and don’t confuse Cool Whip for Miracle Whip. Two totally different “Whips.” : )
