Vege-What?

So, there is this stuff that my mom spreads on her toast every once in a while and she gets really excited about it and makes lots of yummy noises. Even though she likes it a lot, she says she doen't want to use it every morning because it is like "Black Gold," which I think means that it is kind of rare. I never really understood what she was talking about...until Oz.

Apparently there is lots of Vege-Whats-Its in Australia, and the people here love this stuff...and they keep putting it in my mouth. At first I was, like, "No way, man," and kept my lips pursed. The term Black Gold isn't far off, because the stuff looks like tar. But these Australian women are awfully persistent. I like that. And after all that reluctance, I have to admit that I like the stuff...in moderation.

Well, we went to the grocery store this morning, and came to find rows and rows of Vege-Tar, including some made especially for kids one year and up. I could barely keep myself from sampling some in the store. Three more months to go and that jar is all mine!
