You know Kim.. I have never eaten a 'tim tam' Wham..! Hmm.?? It would have been because My mother was a proficient cook..' always Baking 'welsh pancakes' well not always yet Lots of cooking going on..Fruit cakes with Stout added enough to burst the new metal Containers bought for the job..A very opininated Woman my mother and strong..In a fight she never Pulled hair..It was fists toe to toe, i only saw it Once.! Other times were before my birth.' she knocked the sister in law out..She was picked

Are they something like biscuits? I am not familiar with this name. It sounds so tempting. I am sure it is an ideal snack for an evening tea or coffee. Beautifully written Kim.
