...most people here seem to hate it!
On Labor Day itself, I attended a cook out (that's a BBQ to you and I) at my friend Michele's house in Worcester. We were asked to bring something to share, which I did, but I also decided to take along a jar of Marmite as it was something Michele and I had discussed and she was up for trying it.
As it turned out, several people got in on the act. Unsurprisingly, it turned out to be none too popular on the whole and the jar ended up accompanying me home at the end of the night! The consenus seemed to be it'd be better as an ingredient in a soup or some other concoction, as opposed to spread on toast. Watching the expressions as each person had their first taste of the rich, yeasty goodness was a joy to behold: I captured them all on camera. I think Marmite-tasting sessions may well become my entertainment option of choice at times when there's not much else on!
Aside from torturing my new friends, the day was really rather pleasant: good food, good company and lots of laughs. Michele even made me a special garlic-free dip so that I could join in with the eating-of-nibbles, a gesture that really touched me.
All-in-all, the Labor Day weekend was a good un'; definitely a good alternative to a British bank holiday (which don't exist here). I look forward to the next one, Columbus Day, with eager anticipation...especially as Ry will be here then, experiencing it with me *bounce* :D
I look forward to experiencing Columbus day with with you :-)
