these packages containing fabulous "nutrition" bars arrived my home today courtesy of mr. muzzlitebeer. it took 'em nearly a year to get here from australia and though they were in a liquid form upon arrival, a short stay in the fridge cured that.
my daughters were napping when the mailman arrived. i could tell the contents were a bit melted so i hid them in the rear of the fridge behind all the penicillin experiments. i was unaware my three year old had wakened and crept by my office door. she came into the office and layed her sleepy head on my lap. i was stroking her hair and she said, "daddy, what are those things in the refrigerator?" so together we enjoyed the first half of one pack and now i'm anticipating my other daughter's awakening to enjoy the other half. my wife is a caramel-freak so we're saving that one until she gets home from work.
mahalo nui loa, murray! the infamous tim tams were well worth the wait. now, can ya' send me a couple cases of 'em? |

Location: Sydney, Australia | Once you have had one taste of a TimTam you can't stop. Soon you'll be stealing handbags from old ladies just to get more. AJ's heading over in a few weeks for the NW gathering. Talk nicely to him and you never know what might happen. |

Location: Sydney, Australia | PAA? Most likely you'll get fat. 100 calories in each one. Don't know why they say that, there is no recorded history of a person ever having ONE timtam. |

Every time I bought some to send Randy, they mysteriously disappeared.
Ok I've got the guilts now.
My turn :)

Yeah, you think that shipping Ovations from the US to Australia is expensive? Try shipping TimTams to Hawaii! Apart from the postage, it cost me 8 packets to send two. |
