ARe you Read for a TIM TAM SLAM?

Last week we had Tim Tam Slam Tuesday. Tim Tam's are really good chocolate cookies filled with chocolate or caramel or raspberry or anything really. THey're native to New Zealand. This is how you have a TIm Tam Slam Party:
First, you ride your bikes to your friends house and park them in the back.


Next, you whip out the Tim Tams


Get the Milo. Milo is an energy drink that all Kiwi kids love. It's basically chocolate milk. You heat up the water and put a couple spoonful's of Milo in the cup and stir it up.

Next you add cold milk so the milo is the perfect temperature and creaminess.



You then proceed to bite off two diagonal ends of your favorite Tim Tam.

Dip the Tim Tam in your Milo and suck through it, using it as a straw. Once the Tim Tam becomes slightly melted, eat it and ENJOY.
Most people think this is the best way to enjoy a Tim Tam. I think it makes for a great party at Helen's, but I prefer my Tim Tam's hard and crunchy, not soggy.

It's too bad that you aren't having any fun down there. I mean, the other day I did th tim tam thing wit an oreo cookie. That is so USA. Copycats! I also realize that it is important to simulate some experiences you can't have while you are in New Zealand, but kayaking is so much more fun in the water. Maybe when you get back to the states you can dip the boat in the water.
It is good to hear of you. Keep the updates happening.

I AM PECULIAR (this is a permanent post. If you have already read it, scroll down to see my latest)

Those of you who read my blog could probably make a list of all the reasons that you think I am a bit peculiar. No worries, I would be the first to shout an amen to everything you could think of. I know I’m peculiar; but let me tell you the number one thing on my list that I think makes me a peculiar person.

I know where I come from, why I am here and where I am going. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some of you will know me as a “Mormon” although that is just a nickname. The word ‘Saint’ just means ‘member’ in this context. I believe in God the Eternal Father, that I am a daughter of God, and that He loves me and wants me to be happy. I believe in my Savior Jesus Christ who lived a perfect life, atoned for my sins, died and was resurrected all that I might enjoy the blessing of being forgiven of my sins, and having my body and spirit reunited after death. I know that just as God called prophets in the Old and New Testament times that He has in fact called a prophet to lead and guide us today. I believe that families can live together for eternity; death does not have to be the end of our relationships with the ones we love. Some of you may wonder how on earth I can know these things. As I learn more and more from the Bible and other scriptures and actually live what I learn I see the promises the Lord has made being fulfilled in my life, and I feel the Holy Spirit bear witness that these things are true.

I know, I’m peculiar, but thankfully there are over 13 million other peculiar members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and with each year that number grows. I feel so much joy and happiness in my life because of this knowledge. If you want to know more depth about anything I have said that makes me peculiar, visit www.mormon.org. This website explains in detail much of what I have just professed to believe and more.
