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!"

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

Hide them, hide them now!

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

I love Samoas.

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]

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]

Yes, they are.

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

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.

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!

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]

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!

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.

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!)

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.

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

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

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.

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]

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!

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.)
