This thread brought to you in part by the foundation for the conservation of the Soooo thread.

Thin Mints. MmMmMMmMmMmMMmMmmmmm.

I want some NOW.

OMG is it that time of year again????

I have a serious problem with girl scout cookies, I LOVE THEM.

Mmmmmmmmmm Samoasss
Mmmmmmmmmm Thin Mints
Mmmmmmmmmm I don't remember the name of the other ones I like!!

Psst... dsnylndmom... over here

Gauchos. mmmm.

Or, as NA, might say, whatever the hell they call those peanut butter sandwich cookies. NOT the ones with chocolate.

mmmm.

DAMN you Marla!!! :blush: Due to your post of girl scout cookies I ended up here!

Cookie Bliss

I have NEVER said that......yet.:rolleyes:

I just ordered 5 boxes: thin mints, tagalongs, the shortbread with chocolate, the double chocolate chip, and the new reduced fat lemony thingies. I figure the reduced fat lemony thingies negates all the other ones, right?

Ohhhhh you sneaky man you!!
If you find me samoa's I will be your slave :eek:

As seen in the other thread: Girl Scout Cookie Ice Cream

For when you can't wait for delivery.

Available in: Thin Mint, Samoa and Tagalong.

The peanut butter cookie without choclate are called Do-Si-Dos

Yes the rule is a reduce fat cookie eaten AFTER a regular one kills those pesky calorie thingys :cool:

*scouring the internets for samoa recipe*

There's shortbread with chocolate?!?!??!?!?!?!?! Oh man, I need to modify my order, or accost the booth sales... or both...

The ice cream just isn't the same though. Ohhh Girl Scout Cookie Bliss is upon us!!!

Thank you! I love the Do-si-do's!!

IM exchange between Chris and I:

NotAfraid: You need to find someone selling GIrl Scout Cookies
€: Yeah - I guess, I haven't ben approached yet by anyone in the office, I'll have to go on a hunt
NotAfraid: YES
€: Ok I sent out a department wide email requesting cookies
NotAfraid: You did not
€:: I did too
NotAfraid: OMG
€: Waiting for replies.

"All Abouts." You have to endure pithy little sayings like "Girl Scouts are All About Values" molded into the shortbread, but you get to destroy those pithy sayings in a delicious manner, so it's all good.

I'm sure the little girl across the street would be happy for more orders... Let me know if you need to place one.

NA,

Keebler Grasshoppers taste just like GS Thin Mints (not to take anything away from the Girl Scouts, but just in case you're in need and it's not GS cookie season).

Yes, but they don't come with the guilt free, "I'm helping girl scouts" excuse.

Hmmm Save the GS boxes?

But I NEED Samoas. NEED I tell you!

Oh crap! I didn't order Samoas!!!

And they also don't come in the handy single-serving sleeves, 2 to a box! ;)

Because fund-raiser cookies are sin-free!

Samoas. Box upon lovely purple box. There's an order form in the lounge right now. But I'm waiting until the end to fill it out so that fewer people will have the opportunity to smirk at my gluttony.

They usually sell them outside the Albertson's by my house. I need to run over later and see if I can snag two boxes each of samoas and thin mints. And if they aren't there, I'll drive by every day until they are.

This thread has given me such a craving.

I thought the "All Abouts" were just shortbread.

I went to look this up and found this:
Is it just me or does this seem incredibly stupid?

Here's info on the cookies btw:

http://www.littlebrowniebakers.com/cookies/cookies.html
http://www.girlscoutcookiesabc.com/atc/index.htm

Nope, All Abouts have chocolate on the bottom. The plain shortbread are called Trefoils.

No, it's muich safer to send little girls out in the streets to sell their wares that risk computer fraud

MmMMmm. All Abouts.......

It's All About chocolately shortbread goodness. :drool:

If there's a shortge, surely someone here must have connections to the black market Girl Scout Cookies out there. They're called Gurl Skout Kookies. They're just as good. They have: Thinnest Mints, Carmel Deeelites, Penut Butter Patties and Selmas, Shorter Bread Cookies, Lemon Paste Cremes, Berry Iced Pintoes...
:D

We got attacked at Ralphie's workplace. We're getting thin mints and shortbread.

Oh boy. Not to burst your bubble but they won't be infront of the stores until they go into delivery. Booth sales start during the delivery season.

:( Sorry! :( Just trying to save you some heartache and gas!

Oh really.

I demand a retraction! TOOT!

Unless you've changed your name to Nutter Butter recently (or is it NtrBtr?) you have no valid point. None whatsoever. Nada. Nope.

It's like a dagger to the heart. Any idea how long it takes for them to go into delivery?

This thread is such a tease!

According to the order sheet at work, we'll get delviery on 2/28.

I think this has been the fastest moving thread in LoT history.

I know of no, NONE, girl scouts I must find a way to get a fix!!!

There will be booth sales! Never fear, you will be able to be accosted by multiple troops of girl scouts outside of your local grocery store. (Please buy from the girls who are selling them, not the parents if you can help it).

That's a month away! This just won't do at all.

Not in Stockton, the girl scouts are too scared! :eek: :D

But I found a dealer, I mean someone who can get me a fix. And yes, I'll be telling her I'm buying for more than just me when she see's the amount I plan to order!! :eek:

[note-to-self]Invade GD & CP's pantry on the 28th.[/note-to-self]

Can I just say for the record that I don't like Girl Scout Cookies? I've tried them all. Bleh. I buy them and give them away because I like to support the Girl Scouts. But, I just don't enjoy their cookies. Toll House, shortbread and chocolate crinkles of the homemade variety rule.
:)

Chocolate Crinkles!! I love Chocolate Crinkles, I grew up believing these were called Tina Cookie's because they were my favorite and my mom ALWAYS called them that. Imagine my surprise when I found out they were indeed called chocolate crinkles :( Disguy & I have had quite a few discussions of the cookie bliss of Toll HOuse lately. Yummmmmm

Heck, if you can make them, I'll PM you my snail mail address.
;) :D

This confection is new to me. It must be sampled and evaluated. Can you point me in the direction of a supplier and/or recipe?

Crinkles Recipe

You are sooo funny, Dsnylndmom. There are no girl scouts any where in Stockton? Not even in front of Mervyn's or Bel Air?


The mint cookeis are my fav.

A couple of years ago, a Girl Scout approached me in front of a Von's in La Habra (at least I think it was Von's - I don't remember) and was looking really, really sad. Her head was down and she lifted a can and asked me, 'Do you want to buy some Girl Scout Nuts?'
'Girls Scout nuts?' I asked her. 'You got shafted.'
'I know. Our troop is trying something new.' she said looking incredibly embarassed.
I bought a can of peanut brittle or something from the table she was running with her mom. I don't remember ever eating it, it's probably still in the back of my friend's car...
I just thought that was totally funny. Girl Scout nuts. No cookies. Nuts.
:D

True story.

Feel free to buy as many as you like and send them to me. I'm happy to help you support this worthy cause. No, really, it's the least I can do.

Samoas......

:drifts off into a dream-like state:

Hah? Whatwasd'at?

Hahahahahahahaha!

'Dems was Trefoils mah good suh!

A cookie named Trefoils? Sweet Mercy! They can put a man on the moon and now they have a cookie named Trefoils. All I can say is, what will they think of next? And will that, too, share my beautiful, beautiful name? I guess we will never know.

Sweet, precious cookie ...

Thatcookiewillbetheendofyoumahgoodsuh!

Or perhaps the start of something big...

Girl Scout Nuts?

Must think of joke involving "Brownies" as punch-line - too difficult - nutter butter clogging thought arteries - ggghhhhh.

Madam, these Trefoils are as light as a feath'aaaw!

Are Trefoils made by oiling up Tref and putting him in the oven?

Two questions:
Who will be doing the oilin'?

Banana oil, I say! TOOT!

Hrmmmm....

TREF + =

One of my managers has a little girl and is taking orders. I put myself down for 1 box of samoa and 6 thin mints. Told Gaucho I'd ordered, and after he stopped dancing around with me in joy, I asked him, "Oh, did you want some too?" ;)

My mom just called last night, and told me she ordered some of the Strawberry Cream ones for me!!!

Some GS councils carry different cookies, and those Strawberry Creams are still available in Vegas. (But, they don't have All Abouts.) They are a vanilla sandwich cookie, with vanilla cream and strawberry preserves in the middle! :drool:

I'm a happy happy girl!!! :D

I, cookie.

I know no Girl Scouts! ACK!

Seeing as I didn't order any samoas, and seeing as a colleague of CP's has a daughter in girl scouts, and seeing as the girl scouts is a fine organization in need of generous donation....I WANT MORE COOKIES!! So CP is ordering more. She hasn't told me how many, but I bet it's not just 1 box. Mmmm, an embarassment of cookies.

How much does this embarassment of cookies cost these days--per box, I mean. GD, you don't have to disclose exactly how much you'll be donating. ;)

More cookies will only make your neck thicker. How will you find a shirt then?
:D

It's $4 a hit.

Maybe he could borrow one from Gaston? He's got a pretty thick neck.

Truly. He can break a belt with his neck. That's impressive.
;)

Well I havnt tried the chocolate shortbread ones, but for me the absolute ONLY girl scout cookie is SAMOA's! (followed by a thin mint for fresh breath :) )

It's definitely not GS cookie time around here. Those little girls would be freezing their skirts off. I think our cookie time is before Thanksgiving. I didn't get any offers this year. :(

Heehee! Now my husband is being compared in physique to Gaston! I won't argue there. ;) He hasn't broken a belt with his neck in a while though...

I showed some restraint and got only one box of samoas for GD. I swear, I could buy heaps of tagalongs.

This is a dangerous thread!!

I guess it's time to check with the husband and make sure he orders the right kind!

Thank the God's I'm NOT dealing with Girl Scout cookies this year!

Last year I was suckered by Kat's pouty little lip and puppy dog eyes into being her Brownie troop leader...only to be enveloped into a nightmare with the evil woman that was my Service Unit leader! Arggh! Still gives me shivers thinking about it!

Cookie time is HELL for troop leaders! Argh!

But dang it...now I know NO one that's selling.

But if you do, buy the cookies! For many troops, this is the only fundraiser they will do. The troops acutally get a fairly good amount of money from each box, so it's worth every single calorie!


The peanut butter sandwhiches are my favorite...with a cold glass of milk for dunking!

ONLY ONE BOX?!?!?!?! I thought you loved your husband!

Signed,
~the one who will have a pre-nup to cover her Samoa and thin mints.

That's why I used to drink vodka stingers!

Ordered my cookies today (peanut butter sandwich what-nows and ThinMints) from Amanda's daughter. Amanda's playing Ethel Rosenberg (among other roles) in Angels in America, and played my wife in Company, a year and a half ago. She holds the distinction of being such an accomplished actress, that lesbian acquaintances of mine were actually convinced that I was straight!

ThinMints, ThinKrisps, hmm, isn't that interesting, never noticed that before.

I have a girl scout! Let me know! :)

The Boy Scouts thought of selling cookies, but no one wanted to eat anythignthat said BS...



*ducks*

He only bought one box of the other cookies, so there. :p

Are they here yet?

Mmmmmmmm I finally got my cookies yeseterday, Samoa goodness to be had!! But, I only ordered one box of Do Si Do's and I had forgotten how damn good they are :( Woe and peanut butterless is me

WOOHOO! It's delivery time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hit up the booth sales! :evil:

I'll be on the lookout I tell you! Something about these damn do si do's this year!! And I have a buttload of Samoa's

Well dang... where are mine?!?

Gotta call that little slacker!

Mine didn't show up either...and I'm only about 70% sure I remember whose kid I ordered them from (there were 2 order forms at the office!).

No cookies yet.

Not yet...

Not yet....

Not yet......

I'm having to make due with the 1 box that Jen ordered and received yesterday. Still none of the 5 I ordered here at work. :mad:

Ditto for me. Only I ordered 12 boxes. (Some for people near home who never saw a form)
But you'd think whichever Office Sprout I ordered them from would want to get rid of twelve boxes pronto.
At the very least get their money.....

I want my all abouts...

Our local purveyor of sin promised me she bring in extra boxes today, since somehow I failed to order in time. But she assures me that boxes of caramel-y coconut-y goodness will be in abundance.

I'm at a friends house (and being a slug cuz I'm here instead of being sociable) and looking at my box full of boxes.

Not yet...

Not yet....

Not yet.....

Blaaackkkk soooockkksss they never get....

oops. wrong song.

Where are my cookies? :(

Let's pretend I didn't just buy 10 boxes, okay?

You? I have 12 boxes on order, they just arent here! And I am fairly sure that I didnt buy any thin mints and someone just begged me for some when I get my in!!
So that means..... I have to buy MORE

Or as that wise sage, Homer Simpson would say "Mmmmmmmm, Thin Mints." Drool

mmmmmmmmmm, chocolaty goodness and mint, mmmmmmm

I ate all my Trefoils. I have none left. I blame the Girl Scouts for not pressuring me to buy more.

:( Still don't have the bulk of my order. Just one lonely, shrinking box of Samoas.

Oh sweet flaming Moses in a basket! I forgot that my *10* boxes (7 Samoas, 3 thin mints) are in the trunk! And I was wondering what to have for a late supper!

But are they made from real Girl Scouts?

Or perhaps baked up by lil Brownies chained to easy bake ovens in a sweatshop...

Still no cookies!!! My parents better not be holding them for ransom or somthing... There's been no note as of yet. HUmm....

Some kind fool brought a box of Somas and left them in the break room.

Hmmm.. does that mean GD finally got his cookies? And that he is no longer having to make do with CP's single box?

Are you implying that I now have access to a box (or boxes) other than my wife's?




If so, then yes you're correct. ;)

My Brownie brought home 25 wonderful boxes of cookies...unfortunately all but 10 were for other people.

We had 1 lonely box of Samoa's and it was the first to go out the door....UGH! That DH...he sold our only box to someone else at work that forgot to order it. He's such a nerd! Now I'm down to 9 boxes..oh wait the kids cleared out a box of all abouts in one sitting...8 left. Oh crap, I forgot the DH opend the double chocolates.....kids got in them this morning, now I'm down to 7. Damn these go quick.

Sigh. I must go seek out some girl scouts at the grocery stores this weekend. I need my fix damnit!!!!!!!!

As I was walking to the car with my armoload of boxes last night, a random stranger stopped me and wanted to know if I would sell them to her because she hasn't been able to find any Girl Scouts. They're like crack, I tell you! And we'll do anything for the fix.

Precisley what I was implying!

My connection came in. I brought home a large black duffle filled with Girlscout cookies.

When I 1st glanced at your post, I thought it said "I brought home a large black duffle filled with Girlscouts" :eek:

But then i read it again :D

Heh - How ever could you think that of me?

I scored a box of All Abouts. They're gone now.
:D

I know better :cool: . Thats why I had to read it again.
I've been on the computer all day long and my eyes hurt.

I love samoas... coconut goodness with chocolate and caramel.

mmmmmm

Also, GC... I'm in love with your avatar. Drooooooooool

Wow! I managed to make one of those single serving tubes of thin mints be 2 servings! I am so proud of myself!
