I ordered my first Girl Scout cookies today

[Laffy Kat]

Three boxes of Thin Mints. They are delivering them to my door tomorrow evening. And, NO, I don't have enough for everyone.

1. Then as the host you'll just have to go without. n/t

[Laffy Kat]

2. When you pry them from my cold, dead, sticky fingers. nt

13. as you wish

[Paulie]

3. To get the most out of thin mints

you have to eat them by the box, otherwise the thin doesn't work.

[Laffy Kat]

5. Oh, I do, Paulie, I do. nt

[3catwoman3]

26. That is certainly what...

...my husband believes.

I can no longer enjoy them since reading the ingredients label.

[NightWatcher]

4. 3 boxes won't be enough for anyone.

They get smaller every year.

[Laffy Kat]

6. That is soooo true.

But I don't care.

18. Someone's not planning on sharing. :) nt

[OxQQme]

7. Just bought my first

[Laffy Kat]

8. Yours look better than mine.

[hibbing]

10. Gotta get the thin mints n/t

[Callmecrazy]

11. Thye lemon flavored ones are good too...

I bought five boxes last week. All different flavors. I'm eating the last tray of Samoans right now.

[Laffy Kat]

12. You talked me into it.

Lemon GSCs next time. Plus, I'll also pick up a couple of Samoans to send #2-son for his next CARE package! As you can see, I feel strongly about supporting Girl Scouts. Yummers.

14. YAY!.. Part of the year that always makes me smile!

There were little girls in thin mint and samoa costumes at the Stop & Shop on Saturday. I am a sucker for these kids, having been one a long time ago.

[Laffy Kat]

15. Yes, I know.

I honestly can't walk by them at the entrance to grocery stores. They are so cute. I most always stop and pick up another box or two. Some I take to work, some I give to my boys, some I freeze, but most I nom.

[TeamPooka]

16. get some Samoas. You won't regret it. nt

[Laffy Kat]

17. Always do.

My boys like them more than I do, actually. I'll hide some in the freezer for later.

19. But Are They Made Out of Real Girl Scouts?

Real Girl Scouts?

20. These days they're adulterated

The better to go with adult beverages, apparently. Local news did a story Wednesday about a bar in Long Beach, CA that serves Girl Scout cookies with beer (they recommend stout with Thin Mints).

Recently there was another story about a woman who pairs GSC with wine. There are a lot of net links on these beer or wine pairings for GSC but I didn't pursue more info, intending to stick with milk or coffee for my pairing.

[Laffy Kat]

21. Yes, I'm a traditionalist,

Gotta be milk, cold milk.

[3catwoman3]

27. I stick a mug of milk in the freezer...

...for a few minutes to get it really, really cold before using it as a pastry chaser.

[Laffy Kat]

28. Oooh. That sounds great.

Don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks.

22. I support Girl Scouts in general

And, my daughter was in girl scouts for a few years. But, I've never liked any of their cookies. Thin mints and the plain shortbread ones are kind of tolerable, and the others I strongly dislike.

My favorite cookies are chocolate chips. I also like those sugar cookies my mom used to make for Christmas. Heck, I like oatmeal cookies more, and those molasses cookies I can buy at Starbucks.

[Laffy Kat]

23. I like hard, crispy cookies.

None of those "chewy" cookies for me. Nope. I like my cookies like I like my men: crispy and dipped in milk.

[Submariner]

24. Thin mints are the best

[AngryOldDem]

25. If you can stand to do it, put a box in the freezer.

Frozen Thin Mints are the best.
