Girl Scouts, I thank you.

Girl scout cookies are amazing. I love cookies period, but how genius of the Girl Scouts of America to limit the availability of these delightful treats to a few months of the year, causing many to pine throughout the spring, summer, and fall, eventually spending way too much cash on cookies come early winter. I miss out on ordering almost every year. How does someone who supposedly loves girl scout cookies be such a slacker? Well, for one, I'm not obsessed with them. Come on, I just like eating them, but I don't have, like, pictures of them on my walls or plan on naming my first child "Trefoil". (sidenote- remember the movie "Where the Heart is" with Natalie Portman? Ashley Judd is her friend who names all her children foods she craved during pregnancy, like "Brownie" and "Praline". If I were to do the same, I'm sure mine would be named "McNuggget" and "Tater Tot". Hmmm...) Anyway, perhaps I miss the sales because i'm subconsciously warding off about 10,000,000 extra calories a year. However, this year, a lady at work put in an order for me with a little girl in her building and I got two boxes of my favorite thin mints and a box each of samoas, trefoils, and newcomer dulce de leche. She just dropped them off and I have been resisting tearing into them since I began this blog post.

Who else has some girl scout love? What's your favorite cookie?

  2. I love thin mints. So delicious. When I was a junior girl scout (a green one) I sold a case to Francesca's, a local ice cream store, which they used for their delicious thin mint flavor. I think they had actually already bought their supply for the year, but pitied me and bought the boxes. It helped that my sister used to work there...
