December 19th - Hucks Down Under

Crocodile Chad

So yesterday was Chad's Australia project, and it went really well. He talked a lot of people into trying his "vegemite"** (it was really "marmite" - the English twin - but it's all we could find!), by telling them it was chocolate, and then they would help con everyone else into trying it. Apparently even Chad tried it and his teacher got a funny picture that she is going to email us. He did his presentation with an "Australian" accent - Chad's really into accents - and dressed like his own Crocodile Hunter. Lots of fun!

** For those of you that don't know, Vegemite is some sort of Australian food product. It is a spread that is used like mayonnaise. It is made from yeast extract and salt, so that gives you an idea of the flavor. I guess that it really is an acquired taste!
