Girl Scout Cookies...

I have the same dueling mom problem.
Around here, Edy's sometimes puts out a limited edition ice cream in 3 girl scout cookie flavors, all of which are excellent. Thin mint is chocolate mint ice cream with thin mints broken in it, then they also do the samoas with coconut and chocolate and caramel ribbons, and Tagalongs, with a peanut butter ribbon...
I love thin mints best.

Hm. Maybe that means if I traveled I could get girl scout cookies all year round.
But like Gus, I'm trying to be healthier...but damn, those cookies are like kryptonite...

I declined to order any.
I have a tendency to eat a box of girl scout cookies for dinner. There's no such thing as constraint with them.
What's funny is I was the one who suggested last year that he should bring the list to the meeting. :)

Thin Mints in the freezer = Awesome. You're crazy, RA.

I'm trying to figure out if that is coincidental or just cheesy webmaster humor that "OD" is contained in that link.

I was hooked on the samoa ice cream. I once ate almost an entire container on my own. It is the stuff of dreams.

I heard that this year the cookies the Girl Scouts sell will have fewer in the box than previous years. Shitty economy = fewer cookies. Guess that's part of the sacrifice Obama is asking all of us to make.

I don't care about any other cookie, Thin Mints are all I need!
If you don't want to inadvertently eat a whole roll of cookies in one sitting, do what I make myself do - get out the number of cookies you intend to eat, put them on a plate, and put the rest back in the freezer where you can't access them easily.

If you freeze them...they do become slightly more edible.
And I voted for Obama, so he DAMN WELL BETTER NOT FUCK WITH MY COOKIES.

That's because you don't like chocolate and mint together, RA. More for me!


I did find this: "According to Girl Scouts of the USA spokeswoman Michelle Tompkins, as quoted in a 2009 New York Post article, the number of Thin Mints, Do-si-dos, and Tagalongs in each box will be reduced in 2009 due to the increasing costs of flour, baking oils, cocoa, and transportation. In addition, Lemon Chalet Cremes will be smaller."
When I worked at girl scout camps, we always got all the cookies from those councils that hadn't sold. There were rarely any Thin Mints, and usually only a precious few boxes of Samoas and Tagalongs. The counselors snagged all of those, and left the shortbread and other boring ones for the kids.

"
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

As if Samoas (or whatever they're called now) weren't fattening enough. We now need them super-sized?
MMMMMM. Samoas.


My top girlscout cookies? Trefoils and Do-si-dos. Too bad there are only two servings per box.

Ok, you guys are totally ruining my normal get work done around 4 plan because usually nobody is online around 4.
I hear ya Sally, I went to have a Wisdom tooth pulled, and when I came back it was like all heck (for the Pasadena kid) had broke loose - but in a good way.


I haven't seen any girl scouts around lately...don't they usually set up shop in front of grocery stores sometimes?
I have been reading this thread and now I am gonna dream about tagalongs and samoas...mmmmmmmm.

I want my cookies NOW!!!

Samoas - EWW
Thin Mints - Eh
The chocolate covered peanut butter patties are for the professionals

So that's what heaven is like. I've always wondered.
My heaven once was those lemoney goodness ones. But they stopped making them so I had to switch to caramel coconut.

For those of you wondering where your cookies are available, check out this link:

Anyway, there are dueling moms at work selling girl scout cookies for their kids. I don't know about that. I don't want to have to pick allegiances so I bought from the girl across the street and told both work moms I already bought mine. I hate when people bug me to buy crap from their kids at work, even if they're selling girl scout cookies.
Thin mints are overrated, by the way. But the peanut butter ones...my god.
And have you ever checked the calorie counts on those cookies? I think the girl scouts might be responsible for the health care problems in America.
And...you?
