TIm Tam Slam

Well Matt is home and the house is filled with new music, old friends and late night sessions.   

We picked up Matt from Vancouver airport.  His flight was scheduled to arrive at 11:30pm, but came in at 12:30am instead.  After getting his luggage we were on the road home at 1:15am.  

He was insistent on stopping at Super Store to get some Tim Tams.  I had no idea what they were.   It was a little late, so with some gentle persuasion and promises of going the next day, he was okay with not stopping.  We got home and when I crawled into bed I looked at the clock and it was 3:15am.  Short night.  

The next day, Matt passionately introduced us to possibly the best snack food ev'arr  - the Tim Tam Slam.  

Tim Tam Slam 101

1. You make a cup of hot chocolate - not too hot. 

2. Take a Tim Tam, either variety will do.  Bite off a small piece of one corner, flip it to the opposite end and bite off another small piece off of an opposite corner.   

3. Place the modified corner of your Tim Tam in your mouth.  You will have about 1/8 of the Tim Tam in your mouth at this point.

4.  Place the opposite end of the Tim Tam in the cup of hot chocolate facing down.  Dip in about 2 centimeters deep. 

5. Produce a sucking action and notice the fluid flowing upwards through the modified Tim Tam into your mouth - similar to what a straw may do.

6. Once you sense the fluid entering your mouth, stop sucking and quickly place the whole Tim Tam in your mouth.  Enjoy.  WARNING: if you do not stop immediately and delay putting it in your mouth the Tim Tam will self destruct all over the counter.  Not good and not to mention a huge waste of a Tim Tam.  

7. If you have followed all the above steps you are successful.  Welcome to the Tim Tam Slam club!  Only a few have made it this far.  Congratulations.
