I am just between here and there-
getting ready to leave,
hoping to get lots done when I arrive-
going back to the east coast to get the house
ready for the season.
So I don’t have a lot of time to write-
BUT-
I found this series of pictures that my son
took on my camera over the holidays
and thought I would share my own
version of this Australian method of eating
Tim Tams.
First you bite off the corners on two sides.
Get your coffee ready and hold the Tim Tam carefully so you don’t drop it into the cup!
Warn your son that he should not take any more pictures because this could get messy!
Apparently they missed the whole suck the liquid gently up into the biscuit –
and jumped to the have your mouth wide open so you can stick it into your
mouth without delay!
I’m not quite sure what this one is supposed to show- except that I took
two bites to eat it and didn’t end up with a dripping chocolate mess!
I love Tim Tams!
Yes- me too.
Frank is the only one I know who doesn’t like them.
Go figure?!
Hehehe…you should try sucking vintage port through it, Heidi. I had a hangover the next day that made me wish I was dead. 🙂
Oh my, Celia- I hadn’t even considered port.
The possibilities that brings to mind!
Heidi, I like the crunch! So I will just eat them like a regular cookie.
Since you have never even tried it- you can’t be sure you wouldn’t like it this way. I like the crunch too, but there is still some crunch- Oh hey- I don’t care- eat them the way you want to.
We love Tin Tams. Unfortunately they are very expensive here. Hoping the family from Australia bring some when they visit next year. I like the idea of using port instead of tea.
HI Susan-
My family in Australia sends an occasional package of TimTams our way- so we can indulge pretty often.
I like the port suggestion. too, especially with a package of double dark chocolate
biscuits I have stashed in the cupboard! 🙂
Our test of a good biscuit/cookie whatever you like to call it is whether you can dunk it without it falling into the mug. Those tim tams look like they pass the test!
hehehe 🙂 love that you have some photos documenting ‘the slam’
haha! love the tim tam slam…when I manage to find tim tams here in Canada.
Aren’t kids great! Though I’m sure you have several compromising pictures of them as well 😉
I have some pictures- but my son has been on his own for the last 15 years so mine are mostly dated. I take pictures of his children now!
