It's the most wonderful time of the year

[SadieKate]

Well, one of the most wonderful times. The first girl scout* just popped up on our door step. Ordered 2 boxes of Thin Mints and 2 boxes of Do-Si-Dos. A second one of those cuties better show so I can order Samoas also.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I placed this thread in the cycling-related open forum because I consider GS cookies critical to my training regime for descending.

*One tough cookie I must say. It's 45 degrees here with about a 10 degree windchill. She said she's fine in her sweats, GS vest and no hat or gloves. Dad was shivering in his leather jacket and gloves.:rolleyes:

Ooooohhhhh biscuits - now I just need to find where those Girl Scouts are hiding up here. I want some yummy bickies.:)

Hmm Im starting to think SK that you are responsible for getting me hooked on quite a few yummy things. Girl Scout cookies, Brown Cow yoghurt mmmm Brown Cow yoghurt now Im really hungry.:D

[crazycanuck]

Hmmm..I have to find out when they sell them in Australia..yummmm...

I think it's safe to say, however, that I won't be hooked on the Aussie specialty of ice cream and jellie (jello for you Americans). Nope, I think I'm safe.:D

[snapdragen]

Oh Noooooooooooooo! I just got past the Holiday snack horror, now it's the evil GS Cookies!:D Any new kinds this year?

Brown Cow yogurt is the best!

LOL - better than jelly as a side dish with your main course WHAT THE!!!!!!!

Sorry guys to Aussies jelly is a dessert.:D

Frozen Samoas and Thin Mints..... Yum!

Do they sell them in Australia? If not, let us know...we'll send you some.

The problem is that when the neighbor's kids come by, you MUST buy them.

However, when you're dieting, you MUST NOT eat them.

If I ship them to you, I can buy them and have an excuse to not eat them.

Plus, I could chalk up the expense to improving Australian/American relations.

What 'cha think?

[massbikebabe]

Good thinking Mr. Silver...

but I am a sucker for the peanut butter, and the samoas. For those of you who don't have a local girlscout you can go to any girlscout store and buy them there. (I only know this because MBBjr is still involved in scouting).

Unfortunately I love the peanut butter ones. Girl Scout crack!

Girl Scout Store? What? I've never seen hide nor hair of one. Never even heard of one. Probably for the best.

This year, my neighbour and his daughter came but to sell those delicous cookies. Oh course I ordered a lot of them. They had a column to send boxes to our troops overseas. I really likesd that option. I could suport the Girl Scouts and the troups would receive cookies. :D

[Rakekay]

Both of my daughters are selling cookies, and I'm the troop Cookie Mom. So believe me, I've got a pipeline to your supply. Throughout the months of February and March you'd think *I* was the Girl Scout store based on how many cases of cookies fill up my dining room! Anyone who can't find a local Girl Scout and is in desperate need of Girl Scout cookies to fuel your training is more than welcome to send me a PM and I'd be happy to take your order. Of course, I'd have to charge you shipping too (and I can only imagine what shipping to Australia would be!)

(And if this is an inappropriate post, please accept my apologies!)

[jobob]

Oh oh, we now have a Supplier. :cool:

some might say pusher, but that might have negative connotations in certain circles.

Psssst, Rakekay, I'll let you know if I need a fix, if I don't hear from my usual pushers, er, I mean, Suppliers, in the next week or so.

oi....ice cream and jelly is awesome....but it's gotta be red jelly (coz it's my fav)!

nah...we don't have girl scout cookies....in fact, we don't have girl scouts either....don't even have boy scout cookies....jeez
V...postiechic

[crazycanuck]

Mr Silver

If you could & then freeze them that would be :D . DOn't send them to me though as we'll most likely be there for Indy..We can have an international meet up exchanging cookies..:rolleyes: They can be snacks for us while meandering in Canada & the US.

What kind of tim tams should i bring over for Silver?? (they'll be well travelled by the time we see you..will they make it is the q..:D :eek: )

The Australian Girl Guides sell them in May...

Oh! I'll have to remind my mom to get me some in her town.

What a cool idea! And that dealt perfectly with the issue Mr. Silver brought up that we:

:D Must buy them

:D But must not eat them!

Girl Scouts are tough though, they'll be overseas selling to our troops ;) :cool: :rolleyes:

[HillSlugger]

Any new kinds this year?
Yup, Sugar Free Little Brownies.

If you live near DC I'm taking orders for my daughter...;)

[wannaduacentury]

There was a sign up sheet @ my workplace for cookies- MMMM!! I ordered the Macaroons and the cafe cookies- Can't wait. I love GS Cookies.
