Mother Gabriela often had a teaspoon of marmite in hot water (her brown soup) for dinner. Vegemite can also be used like this.

Effie Vegemite or Marmite can be used to flavour lots of things soups, stews, I've been addicted to the stuff my whole life and of course it's handy in lent.

Effie, I think you made a comment before about it being better not to watch the news, did you mean as an Orthodox person? I've hardly been watching any TV or listening to radio for quite a while now, and I can't say I miss it, but that's just because my TV "blew up". Now, I find that, I am quite behind, when people say something has happened, something major, I don't usually know about it. I think I'd hear about bad news, I'm sure I'd see it in prayer requests but other than that I'm living in some other century where the news travels very slowly.
