So, after YEARS of hearing about these marvelous bits of goodness, I was visiting my BF and we walked into his local grocery store (south Florida) and there, right by the front door, was a display of Pepperidge Farm Tim Tams!!! I nearly shrieked with delight. Okay, I DID shriek with delight! Could they be the real deal? It seems they are, on special license from Australia. I tried to explain to DBF that these weren't just any cookie, but on TE, they were the cookie all cookies strive to be.

We bought one original Chocolate Creme, and one Caramel. At room temp (warm room...) they were a bit too melty, but slightly chilled, OMG yum.

Now... why is this in the cycling thread and not the non-cycling? We spent the long holiday week riding. Yesterday was the last of 9 days of pretty brisk riding. They don't have hills down there, but they do have headwinds. I took the pull on the last long leg into the wind and made a deal with myself. If I could keep up a certain pace for half that leg, I would get a TimTam as soon as we walked in the door. If I could keep it up for the whole leg, two Tim Tams. My BF tried to pull the last half, but that would void the deal in my head. As I'm pushing, giving it all I had, the cadence in my head was saying "tim, tam, tim, tam..." over and over.

Needless to say, I got my two Tim Tams as soon as we got home.
