They other day I had a Tim Tam. That's a lie. No normal person can have just one Tim Tam, so let's just say I had more than one. The thing about Tim Tams is, you can't just eat them like a normal biscuit. There is a very special way of eating them. If you've had one before but not done the Slam, I'm very sorry for you but you have been deprived. Here's how to do it..
The reason I'm telling you this very drawn out story is because when I had my more than one Tim Tam, and was letting the biscuit melt in my mouth, I had the clearest flash back of my life. Suddenly I was back in the flat, standing under the flicker of the kitchen light, in what feels like lifetimes ago. I could hear laughter and felt a surge of happiness and for just a second I was reminded of a really awesome moment in my life. A moment I had all but forgotten until then. Then, just as quickly as the sensation arrived it was gone. Like I said, this was years ago and many memories from that time are better left untouched, but this one in particular was a good one.
I love that a single smell, or taste or even texture of something can bring back moments that were hidden and how you're suddenly smiling as you remember...
