Tim Tam Slam (aka T2Slam)


When I was at Fuller Seminary several weeks ago for one of my Doctor of Ministry classes (my final class, actually!) I met several pastors from Australia. One of the Aussies introduced us to the "Tim Tam Slam." You can do a Google or YouTube search for more information. However, the T2Slam involves biting the ends off of a chocolate wafer cookie (Tim Tam - available only in Australia) and then sucking hot coffee or hot chocolate into the cookie like a straw. As soon as the liquid comes through the cookie you slam the wafer into your mouth before it dissolves. When you do, there's a veritable explosion of flavor in your mouth. (Well, not really, but it sounds more appealing if I put it that way.)

So, this Aussie woman who taught us the Tim Tam Slam sent me two boxes of cookies to use with the church staff. Today was the day. We all did the T2Slam before our staff meeting and devotions. What a hoot!

Can't wait to welcome our new staff members, Rachel and Josh. Maybe I'll have to get some pix of them doing the Tim Tam Slam!!

I can kind of figure out what you do to do a T2Slam, except for when I look at Karen M. Is she throwing it back up?
