Scientists create virtual marmite for World Marmite Day (28/09 - other yeast extracts are available) https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-09-scientists-virtual-marmite-world-day.html #Marmite #replicator #TasteTest
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Marmite was desperately curious to try some of the fermented cucumber I was nibbling and so I gave her a bit. She sniffed it for a couple of minutes, and then gave me a look like I'd tried to poison her. I don't think she likes fermented cucumber.
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Marmite absolutely furious at the pigeon that is taunting her.

Tip of the day...
Don't open a pack of #Marmite rice crackers if you're not prepared to go 'all in'..!
Especially if you're a little bit high.
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon
#Marmite has discovered that she can comfortably hide in one of the wardrobes. This pleases her greatly.
Trying to get #Marmite to drink water, but it's a losing battle. Tried mixing water into her wet food, but she's not having it. I guess it smells strange or something.
#Marmite has one long white hair on the back of her left forepaw. Somehow it's perfectly visible in this photo.
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday #Marmite is not happy at being disturbed.

#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Marmite doesn't seem to have suffered overly at the vet's. She doesn't like her transporter, but she seems to have mostly forgiven me.
I Love #Marmite!
That is all
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon
#Marmite's vet visit went OK and she's back with me. Her mouth is fine (that's what I was mostly worried about), but she has a slight infection in her left ear, which I suspected because she's been scratching it a lot. Meds to be administered.
So - 1 talk completed for #ESRAworld2023
This is live footage of me pondering the content from my office 😂😂

My mid-morning snack after someone in today's #BakedBean discourse mentioned #Marmite.

The good people at Marmite asked if bananas and Marmite sounded good, so we tried it. Clover the Leonberger and Sprout the Berner say yes ! I thought it was rather good too. #SproutTheBerner #TeamClover #Leonberger #BerneseMountainDog #marmite #dogsofmastodon
I would absolutely drink the carbonated #Marmite. 100%.
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon So much for working. #Marmite has taken over the laptop.

#Cat #CatsOfMastadon #Marmite has very carefully stepped on the laptop power button 5 times today. This puts the machine into hibernation and switches the music off. Which then means pressing the power button again, clicking on the screen with the mouse, entering the PIN, closing the music software, restarting the music software and clicking on play.
Yes. I'm annoyed. In fact I'm 5 times annoyed and I'm not currently speaking to the cat.
Today's bakes.

#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Marmite has woken up and is now making it impossible to use my computer.
#Cat #CatsOfMastadon I just know #Marmite is a modular-synth goddess in her dreams.
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday #Marmite is staring at me in disbelief.
#ThrowbackThursday #Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Marmite 4 years ago and today. Still as elegant as ever.

#Marmite has decided she likes very small portions of blue cheese. She's learning! 😻

That STUPID cat just smashed a glass. NOT happy.
#Marmite
Marmite is a kinda weird #British phenomenon.
I've been eating it recently because it's got vitamin B or something.
I don't love it -- but I don't hate it either. I kinda like it. But it does have a very chemical kind of taste.
It's one of them things you can grow to like because it's nutritious or something and you body starts to want more.
It's kinda weird.
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Marmite has just attacked a moth through the window.
Mmm, mmm. Marmite on toast for breakfast. An acquired taste, certainly, but one that's very difficult to acquire in Shanghai.
Ok, I'll admit it. Marmite toast, but on crumpets is actually really nice.
Can't put on too much though as you'll still want the yeasty flavour of the crumpet.
My husband and son are back from their trip to England and came back with lots of scummy tuck...
Chilli marmite, oh my!!! How well my lovely man knows me.

So, a Saturday morning breakfast poll for my #CupOfTeaSocial friends (and others can join in too) in order to settle a matter of vital importance:
@3goodthings #3GoodThings
1. Philip Jeck's & Chris Watson's "Oxmardyke" album.
2. Jah Wobble's bass playing, in whatever context.
3. #Marmite the cat is in a playful mood.
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Marmite is in position hovering over the power button. She's gonna hafta move though. I have work to do.
#Marmite's latest infuriating behaviour is to sit on the laptop keyboard with her foot planted square on the power button. Then she looks me straight in the eye and presses it, thus sending the laptop into sleep mode. Which turns off the music.
She's definitely developed a not necessarily positive opinion on King Crimson. Not. Like. This could be grounds for divorce.
Sprout and Clover want to help me eat my marmite sandwich. #SproutTheBerner #teamclover #dogsofmastodon #BerneseMountainDog #Leonberger #dogs #marmite
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday #Marmite has decided I'm not working this afternoon.
I know this sounds unlikely; to some of you, perhaps impossible: but I think I may have over-Marmited my sandwich
What is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you?

#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Marmite is definitely not in the way in the slightest. It's a perfectly normal place to sit.
My recipe suggestion, and I am not known for any that do not involve #Marmite. This is really nice...
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday #Marmite has taken over the laptop. How am I supposed to work?!
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Marmite has decided I'm no longer working today. Ah well.
Back on that rise and grind... 🤘😩🤘
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Marmite is investigating her new light toy. The light is in the shape of a mouse.
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Marmite is looking miffed because I won't let her sit on the laptop.
#Cat #CatsOfMastodon #Marmite is not above telling me to stop scrolling through Twitter and do something productive.
Was putting #Marmite on toast today and thinking about its origin story:
“Oh my gosh, what can we do with all this industrial waste!?”
“Put it on buttered bread?”
I just spotted that this #marmite says “100% vegetarian”. It occurs to me that saying “100%” here is a tad pointless. You can’t have something 99% vegetarian as any meat means it is not vegetarian at all. Well, unless perhaps Soylent green where “vegetarians” could be an ingredient :-)
A friend is suggesting a 6 week cruise - which is crazy, but would be one hell of a way to celebrate my 60th, so I'm considering it. Main issue is how many jars of #marmite I'll need to take.
