Whoa! Savory! - 25 February 2021 - Plague Journal Day 350

Micah 6:8
Genesis 27:1-4
Yes, your life matters.


We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?


Apparently Marmite is simply British miso. A recent article in the NY Times indicates that Marmite can be used to bring umami to vegan dishes - in particular a vegan Bolognese sauce - much the way miso is used to add that savory note in Asian cooking. Who knew? What's next? Vegemite vermicelli? The world waits and shudders.


Before you fill my comment space with corrections and complaints, I know that Marmite and Vegemite are yeast extracts while miso is fermented bean paste. Just because they're totally different things doesn't mean that they're not exactly the same, if you see what I mean. Just sit back and enjoy.
(As if that were possible.)

Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
The mental health issues related to our lockdown and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, has a 24 hour helpline: 800-950-6264.
