Today I am sharing something a little bit different - I am not crafting today but Kraft-ing instead. For those of you who follow my Blog, or at least visit on a regular basis will know that recently I went on the Spellbinders Retreat in Phoenix - if not, you can read about it here and here.
While there my Aussie Team Mate and friend Beck Beattie and I hosted an Australian Afternoon Tea - it would not be Australian without Vegemite - yes we took some along, as well as VitaWeet (Tim Tams by the dozen, Wagon Wheels and Caramel Koalas too), but in all honestly, you have never had Vegemite as it was meant to be eaten until you have had it on hot toast - and I am going to show you all how it is meant to be eaten...get those taste buds ready...
Start with a jar of Vegemite and real butter - none of this margarine business - it has to be butter!
Cook your toast - make sure it is nice and hot
Liberally spread the butter on the hot toast so it melts...
For those professionals among us, score some lines into the toast with your knife so the melting butter can soak into the toast
NOTE: Most important - do not leave toast crumbs or any signs of Vegemite in the butter - not appreciated - just sayin'!
Start by spreading a light layer of Vegemite, you can add more as you adjust to the flavour- definitely a case of 'less is more' as you start out - but for those who LOVE it - layer it on....
Now, the most important part - get comfortable and take that first bite....feel the first hints of flavour as they make their way across your taste buds, a little bit salty, savoury and YUMBLY, as my DH would say,
You either love it or NOT! From experience I have found that a lot of people who don't, have used too much too soon.
What is Vegemite - it is not a meat or vegetable product - it is a Yeast Extract - full of all the Vitamin B's - very healthy!
Here is a little look at the Spellbinders Aussie Afternoon Tea
I hope you have enjoyed this 'tasty morsel' I have shared with you today - something fun and different - but oh so YUMBLY! Thank you for your
comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing
place to be!! Your encouragement is such a blessing for me - it makes my day!
God bless you!
