Daughter L introduced me to this Australian/New Zealand snack biscuit called a Tim Tam. Apparently we can buy the cookies here. This is a video showing how to eat them in an authentic way. I advise taking one quick slurp of warm, not too hot tea to get the full effect. And they taste pretty fattening!
And just wow, read this inspirational story of a mother's quest to cure her son.
She is soon to earn her PHD on neuroscience with a goal to curing her son of a serious genetic disorder. She has actually helped solve a piece of the puzzle and this may help other kids too.

Hmm, I had better steer clear of those cookies! Valerie
Not hot tea Christine - Kahlua or Baileys Irish Cream if you please lol
They are getting pricey to buy these days so I just like to nibble mine a tiny piece at a time 😊
Moms will go to incredible lengths for their children.
I've never heard of those cookies. Very interesting!
The story of a woman earning a pHD for her son is pretty awesome. That's some love right there. It's made even better by her helping other kids along the way. In the unfortunate case she can't help her son, at least she's helped a lot of other people's sons and daughters.
I was introduced to this amazing cookie by a " Down Under pal " and she said that was the way to enjoy them, and its very good!
A love for a child is a strong force,,, amazing!
Exactly right Mark.
thanks for this worthwhile tip Cathy!
Yes, warm tea with milk, but then I'm English. Tim Tams are similar to Penguins which is a biscuit we have here in UK.
I think Cinderella will be a popular halloween costume this year. Just like all the little Elsas from Frozen last year
What a beautiful image! I'm so glad the mother is on the path to helping her son and others.
Interesting.
I have yet to have one!
