Shortly after moving to New Zealand, Chris discovered a new favorite: the Tim Tam.
Chris told me they were yummy and fellow bloggers assured me that I had to try them, but I wasn’t sure. I took one look, turned up my nose, and said, “Ugh! Looks like a bunch of over-processed, chemical-laden, highly preserved crap to me! No thank you!”
I kept this up for awhile. Chris would go to the grocery, get a box, and I’d stare at them, thinking, “What on Earth is the big deal? They look so unappetizing and… processed!” Chris continued to eat them, telling me, “You should give ’em a try. You’ll like ’em.”
I’ve heard that before. Don’t make me bring up the banoffee pie cookie incident. Blech!
I maintained my distance till last week. It was late, I was hungry, and I saw a package of the chewy caramel Tim Tams sitting on the counter. I scrunched my forehead, twisted my mouth, and figured, “Eh – what the heck. It’s only a cookie, right?”
Bad idea.
I ate one of those things, and I went from being a self-controlled, healthy-food-loving, well-balanced nurse…
Into this:
No more fruits and veggies for me! It’s all about the Tim Tams 🙂
Let’s just say that it’s a good thing I have one of these…
Because I have a feeling that in a little while, I’m going to have a heart attack when I step on one of these!
I’ve heard about the myth of the Tim Tam. So they do exist! It’s probably best if I don’t ever discover them around here…
Oh, and I’m a book addict too 😉
You have to try the Tim Tam Slam!!! Trust me – DO IT!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHzMfZ1FaqA
I’ve never heard of these. But that’s a good thing because my hips have seen far too many sweets as it is lately!
told you so! 😉 Tim Tams are yum! 🙂
Oh my goodness, that photo of Cookie M. is so awesome! I picked up some Tim Tams too, and I’m totally addicted!
Yum! Those look good – but then I have a horrible downfall in that I love anything sweet. That is a hilarious picture of the cookie monster, too!
Ha ha. That’s hilarious.
I do that all the time with food. I don’t want to try certain things because they look disgusting…and then I end up loving them! 🙂
oh my goodness, Tim Tams are from the devil I swear!! I eat them by the boxful, and now miss them dearly thankyouverymuch. 🙂
Tim tams in the US? Need to find one and try it!!!!
I’ve heard about Tim Tams! You can’t get them in the states, so you’ll have to sneak some through customs when next you return. They don’t look all that exciting, but everyone raves about them… go figure!
hahaha this post cracked me up. send some tim tams my way! I’m all about processed chemical laden food!
