fasting

Every year a few of us at work have a little bet going on … The 6 weeks between carnival and easter we fast. To sum it up: forbidden is everything yummy. No chocolate, no snacks, no sweets, no cake or cookies, nothing sweet from the bakery, and if you are right now thinking “what about ….” yeah, that’s probably forbidden too.
So now comes the fun part, if one of us gets weak and eats something that is not allowed, he (or she) has to eat a slice of bread with Vegemite. If you don’t know what Vegemite tastes like: it is probably the most disgusting thing ever mass produced on earth. Sorry @ any Aussies that might read this, but your taste buds are defiantly borked, must be some genetic defect that allows you all to eat it without your body going into “self preservation mode” and trying to eject it again.
