While we’re on the topic of Forrest Kinney’s posts, I also loved his recent post “A Favorite Story on Mozart’s Birthday.” Unlike Mozart, however, I would have opted for dinner rather than improv time. :-S

“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!! Australian Tim Tam Biscuits Are Finally Available in America!!!!!!” I say to my husband one evening while reading this article.

“That is sooo going on your Friday Finds, isn’t it?” he says.

Yep, he knows me too well…

For all of you Americans, “biscuits” is Aussie slang for “cookies.” Gotta love the Tim Tam and yes, while living there we were cultured in the “Tim Tam Slam.” Of course, my favorite ones, the mint, aren’t coming. 🙁 I’ve seen Tim Tam’s in the U.S. but not without driving to a big city and going to a specialty international grocery of some kind like Cincinnati’s Jungle Jim’s. Now if only they’ll come to my local small town Walmart. Think I’ll get lucky?
