Tim Tam Ice cream
I think I am going to be in heaven here real soon. I got invited to go to
the Heresy and other candies manufactures wholesale convention In Orlando. FREE SAMPLES AND GIFTS I think just heard the calorie counter start clicking "Yoj" wrote in message ... "meee" wrote in message ... "Yoj" wrote in message et... "meee" wrote in message ... "Yoj" wrote in message . com... "meee" wrote in message news MMMmmmmm. Right now I have four pairs of pitiful little eyes watching me, and have discovered that Congo (biggest, fattest, and most masculine kitten) has an extremely pitiful, small, weak, kittenish mew. He is also very good at looking starved; probably why he is so hefty. For those of you unfortunate enough not to know, a Tim Tam is a delicious, chocolate covered and filled biscuit, deadly in it's addictiveness, that is to Australia what the Oreo is to America. And the ice cream is worse. They will be allowed to lick the plate. You forgot to mention that Tim Tams are at least ten times as good as Oreos ever thought of being. Joy (confirmed Aussiephile and Tim Tam lover) well, that's a given! I just didn't want to offend the americans!! they are very attached to their oreos, and most of the poor dears probably never have seen a tim tam, let alone tasted one. Besides, it would be cruel to mention it when they can't have any... That's true, although there is a place in Texas where you can order them. They are quite expensive, but worth it occasionally. ;-) Joy Man, you're not serious!!! Well, you can get everything in the US....for a price I guess! What do they do, fly to australia and buy them?? This outfit specializes in Australian things. They have Ugg boots, all sorts of Cadbury goodies, and a wide variety of other things. I discovered the Tim Tams by accident. I imagine they have the items shipped here from Oz. Joy |

Here's a site I found online: http://about-australia-shop.com/adva...ywords=tim+tam Someone brought some to my office a few months ago. Very yummy. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca I think that's the place I was talking about. They're in San Antonio, Texas. Joy |

I might add that I, for one, am not so fond of Oreos - except the cream filling. The chocolate cookie is too dark and phony tasting for my like! I prefer the 'plain ol' vanilla cream sandwich cookies. Anyone care to 'import' some of those Tim Tams for us culture-lacking Americans? I really don't know why Arnotts haven't yet! Whoever invented it should be canonized!! (or boiled in oil, depending if you're on a diet or not....) It's said that some people only come back to Australia for the Tim Tams..... I can believe it! They are one of the best things I had to eat in Oz. The other thing at the top of the list was the kangaroo fillet with a sauce made of plums and peppers that I had in Kakadu National Park near Darwin. Joy |

Too true NMR!! men are hoomins too....
"Matthew AKA NMR ( NO MORE RETAIL )" 10 points a troll @linethetrollsup.com wrote in message . .. I am going to tell you woman this as a personally favor from men. Do you remember what I did for my DW on valentines day the breakfast in bed and so on. We might not act like it but when we are pampered it means as much to us as it does to you Except when we are sick than we want are mommy Both me and my DW try to do something for each other just to get a smile sometimes. When I have a long hard day my favorite thing to have done is for her to come up behind me and give me a body hug like I am the only person alive. The words I missed you today mean more than how was your day to me. Us men don't show it but that link means more to us than anything else "meee" wrote in message ...

You got my mouth watering for one right now. :-) Well, I'm sitting here trying desperately to be unselfish and leave the last little bit of the ice cream for DH..... what is a baby spoon full just enough to tease him :-) Honestly, I'm almost gonna do it...except that poor baby will be working in the rain all day, and probably need some comfort food this evening.

Customs will let them through, but if we send tim tams to one person, us Aussies will have to send them to everyone, and I'm not that rich! Maybe we can chip in to send a box to the US and Burope and then elect someone to distribute them from there. or something. Yowie |

That's probably true. A couple of years ago, my mother ordered some candy
to be sent to my daughter as a Christmas gift. The box was delivered, but it was empty. -- Joy **Don't believe everything you think** "Matthew AKA NMR ( NO MORE RETAIL )" 10 points a troll @linethetrollsup.com wrote in message ...

Seeing as I'm TRYING to change my eating habits for the better lately,
I'm SO relieved the whole Pacific Ocean and the International Date Line is between me and Tim Tams AND Tim Tam Ice cream, or I would be in serious trouble! Oreos..... I can live without those and pretty easily. But chocolate covered biscuits... THAT's dangerous! Melissa |
