Marmite! A tiny pot of this mercurial wonder is the first thing to go in the suitcase when we have a fly and flop holiday. I’m very envious of that personalised jar mind…….
We’re in the process of designing a new kitchen. In fact a new house. Even with that I think there’ll be compromise. The cost of building here has gone up drastically. But the walk in pantry with wine storage (we’re in Margaret River) is something I’ll fight tough and nail for. It will be heaven. The house we’ve been in for eight years sometimes feels like that film, Mousehunt. Let’s just say peanut butter (smooth) is great for baiting traps! And dare I say after 10 years down under I’ve flipped from Marmite to Vegemite.
Max, Vegemite, noooooo! They got to you! You've been converted. Do you miss the good stuff, hehe? Walk in pantry with wine storage sounds like such a dream (and one that I'm definitely not discounting for us some time in the future). I really wish you all the best with it, and hope you're not wasting too much good PB on those mesky rodents...
I still buy marmite now and again, but Vegemite has such a hold here. I mainly buy cheap sugary PB for the mice. But now and again they get the good stuff.
I can’t eat the stuff I ate when I was a kid. Too sweet. I’m a sucker for the posh stuff these days.
It’s a new house in what my dad says sounds like an “expensive commune.” It’s an eco village development where the houses have to generate all their own electricity, collect water (pretty normal down here), solar passive design, build to strict guidelines etc. All the houses have veggie gardens and we have shared orchards. So there’s going to be a lot of preserving going on. There could actually be an indoor kitchen and something outside that’s a bit more rustic.

I love your dedication, Penelope! It is to be applauded.

Weirdly I didn’t grow up enjoying peanut butter, it’s been something I’ve been very late to the party to, but these days I can’t get enough…
What style of kitchen are you planning? What era is the house?
