On my own…..

Breakfast is usually my favourite meal of the day… whatever time I eat it…. eaten in the middle of the night can be wonderful…. and oh man, that first cup of tea… *NOTHING* is better than the first mouthful of tea in the mornings!

So this is a recent breakfast.. homemade bread, given a wonderful golden colour by the addition of Bee pollen… and  English Breakfast Marmalade… I miss real marmalade, made with seville oranges like my Father In Law used to make….. have sent out begging emails :) You don’t seem to be able to buy Seville oranges in New Zealand, I look for them every January….

I am so innocent!

I just posted a photo I took of a Tim Tam Crush biscuit over on Plurk, and someone asked if I sucked my tea, or coffee, through the Tim Tam… I have never done this, or even heard of it, but apparently it’s quite the thing to do. I even found a YouTube video demonstrating the technique!!

There is a  wiki entry a song about the Tim Tam Slam too….now I need more Tim Tams to give this thing a go… judging by the noises made by the guy on the video it’s an experience not to be missed!

Addendum:
I tried the above mentioned technique as per the video.. I actually watched 2 more video’s, to ensure success.
I failed miserably… I burned my mouth on the hot black tea and the Tim Tam fell into the cup and dissolved, the result was a muddy kind of chocolate flavoured tea with rather sicky overtones!! I should have known, I have never even been able to *dunk*!!

If anyone tries this themselves I would be interested to hear your results!
