My aunt has a lot of Girl Scouts to support. We went to her house today and came home with 15 boxes of cookies. [Big Grin]

As Emma would say, "MmmmMMMMMMMMMM!"

No fair! We don't have those here! Waaaaaaah! [Cry]

Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :

Do you have any . . . THIN MINTS????

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

You know that Girl Scout cookies are not for children, right, KQ?

Hide them, hide them now!

Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :

My mother's apparently sending me some of her leftover boxes this week. Woohoo!

I love Samoas.

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

The only Girl Scout cookies we ever had were the chocolate and the vanilla icing-in-the-centre ones. You know, adulterated Oreos.

I've never had a thin mint or a samoa.

I'm deprived. [Frown]

Y'all are spoiled brats! [Taunt]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Why me? I'm being good and ensuring I get none!

*weeps*

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

rivka, are Girl Scout cookies kosher?

quid, are they halal?

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

rivka - Aw, poor baby! Okay, you're not a spoiled brat, but everyone else is.

No idea, kq. No idea at all. If it has some kind of Halal-certifying stamp on it, it probably is. If it has no animal ingredients at all and no alcohol, then it is. [Dont Know]

But really, I'm not craving them that bad, and I'm off sweets, so I still couldn't have 'em anyway. [Big Grin]

I just like to whine. [Evil]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Yes, they are.

However, they are NOT kosher for Pesach (in less than three weeks), and they would not help me eat less junk.

Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :

I like the all-abouts and I am very tempted to try the ones that have lemon in them. I don't think I'd be very fond of the thin mints as in Planet V, mint and chocolate don't mix.

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

The low-fat lemon ones are very good. I enjoy them with a glass of non-fat milk. Mmmm.

My husband is not that fond of chocolate and mint, either. Hmph. Oh, well, more for me!

Posted by dawnmaria (Member # 4142) on :

I've got a case of Samoas hidden from my husband. He's a junkie and he's turned on my 17 month old to them as well! I told him this had to last until next year and I'll ration them out to him! I did get an extra 2 boxes to take on vaction so he can have them in the car. Ain't I sweet! Oh! And any the baby eats count against his ration! [Big Grin]

"Is that lemonade made from real lemons?" Bratty Girlscout.

"Are those Girlscout cookies made from real Girl Scouts?" Wednesday Addams.

Posted by 1lobo1 (Member # 7762) on :

Thin mints are the best...the lemon ones are quite good as well!...but I only bought one boc of lemons...not enough...

:-(

Posted by vonk (Member # 9027) on :

i don't know why anyone would buy girl scout cookies that aren't thin mints. thin mints are the fruit of the gods. my girlfriend always gets the caramel delights (samoans) and then i have to beat her (not really). my mom makes an excellent mint chocolate chip brownie that is like a thin mint on steroids. or maybe a thick mint.

THIN MINTS FOR PRESIDENT!

Posted by Sharpie (Member # 482) on :

Er. Chocolate and mint together is an abomination. Does no one else like the trefoils??

Posted by vonk (Member # 9027) on :

I don't want to argue, but chocolate and mint together is a gift from Xenu.

Posted by unicornwhisperer (Member # 294) on :

I've been craving those chocolate mint cookies..... *druels*

Posted by kmbboots (Member # 8576) on :

I finished my box of Thin Mints last night. Why didn't I order more?!

Yeah, I can't stand anything with that flavor either. I like the peanut butter Oreo-like ones.

You only ordered one box?

I'll tell you a secret: Keebler Fudge Shop Grasshoppers are almost just like Thin Mints. And I think they're usually cheaper.

Posted by kmbboots (Member # 8576) on :

KQ, you are my new favorite person!

Posted by sweetbaboo (Member # 8845) on :

I don't really care for thin mints by themselves BUT in a millkshake, they are divine!! YUM.

(And since I missed the cookie sale this year, I think I'll try the Grasshoppers, thanks KQ, I've been craving a thin mint shake!)

Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :

My mommy sent me four boxes of cookies! Hooray Mommy!

Two of these boxes are Thin Mints. [Big Grin]

One is Samoas and the last is a box of those "Cafe Cookies." I don't know what they are, but they're cookies, so they're yummy.

Posted by Christy (Member # 4397) on :

My mommy sent me two boxes as well and my husband brought home two more. Each bought one each of my favorites -- Thin mints and Samoas. I am well loved.

What about me! I never even get to eat the adulterated oreo girl scout cookies.

Chometz is forbidden for me 365.25 days a year, and not just during Pesach.

(I suffer from Gluten Sensitive Enteropathy)

Girls Scout cookies are good, if a bit overpriced, but what I miss are the Campfire Girls' Candies. They used to sell these chocolate/mint log things that were to die for. Kind of like a long skinny york peppermint patty except with milk chocolate instead of the nasty dark stuff. MMMMmmmmm

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Rabbit, you're even worse off than that. Matzah isn't chametz (nor is stuff made from matzah), but it still has gluten!

*sympathetic pat pat*

Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :

Yeah I know rivka. Chometz isn't the right wordl. I do often use Kosher for Pesach recipes but not all of them work.

But I'm not entirely worse off. I can eat yeast and baking soda/powder.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Baking soda and powder are kosher for Pesach. But yeah, no yeast.

Oh SHARPIE! Well, I guess no one is really perfect. I've just found your first flaw. [Frown]

Well, that and preferring Diet Dr. Pepper at room temperature, but I was willing to overlook that one. [Wink]

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

I bought two boxes of Samoas from Junebug.

Sooooo good.

Posted by Celaeno (Member # 8562) on :

Thin mints and tagalongs for me, please.

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

Trefoils are a very nice cookie with a cup of coffee. But Thin Mints are the queen of all cookies.

They disappear so quickly in my house that I hid ours in an empty bag of frozen broccoli in the back of the freezer. No way the kid would look there for a snack!

Ewwww...they were gross oreo's to.. [Frown]

We had a really hard time selling those when they were available.

Posted by romanylass (Member # 6306) on :

Sneaky!

I am the only person I know who doesn't like GS cookies. I can taste the trans fats. ( I even look every year, in the hopes they've jumped on the badwagon.)

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

But the trans fats are what make them so DELICIOUS! [Big Grin]

Thin Mints are the absolute BEST when they've been frozen. Mmmm... I might have to go have a couple right now [Smile]

Posted by Sharpie (Member # 482) on :

That's my only flaw, Karl! Really!

Darn, now that the Goodlet has seen this, my broccoli will never be safe again... [Smile]
