The Vegemite Tasting in Maastricht

Sunday Afternoon Vegemite Tasting at Gauchos!
One of he highlights of the week was on Sunday afternoon at Gauchos when we had our Vegemite Tasting Contest to see who agreed with Mirusia and liked it and who agreed with André and did not like it at all!!!! Mirusia won, but in all fairness to André I must tell you that when it was time for the raising of hands, Mirusia was standing there watching all of us. ;-) Thank you to Gary and Mirusia for making this little event of ours very special! They both sang the Vegemite song with us (lyrics for the non Aussies provided by Jann) and then Mirusia gave us all a roaring AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!! :)
Below are the pictures of Jann and I preparing the Vegemite on bread with butter added to it, the fans at the tasting and Mirusia and Gary singing. And Thank You to Gauchos who helped make it special in providing us with everything we needed and setting the tables all up for us!! Another moment in that week we'll all remember ...

  1. How fun! And it just topped off the party for Gary & Mirusia to drop by. Are those Mirusia's body guards in the black shirts, looking all around? ;-)

  2. Hi Chris ~ No Body Guards. Mirusia arrived with just her boyfriend who is blonde and adorable. I don't know who those two guys were, just watching the fun I guess ... :)

    I was a LOT of fun and Mirusia and Gary really did make it very special!!
