Girl Scout Cookies are "insert your favorite adjective here." I choose nutritious. They're not, that word just makes me feel better about eating them. Audrey has been a Daisy or Brownie Scout for the last three years. And each year we purchase the difference between her sell goal and her actual sell. This year we bought 12 boxes. That's right. 12. I blame myself really. We started hitting up neighbors and friends only 2 days before the orders were due, though no one seemed put out by it. She was selling Samoas after all. And Thin Mints. And Tagalongs. Mmm, Tagalongs.
Funny story about Tagalong cookies. For the longest time I thought they were called Tagalog, as in, 'People in the Philippines speak Tagalog and eat Tagalog cookies.' I think it was the Samoas that threw me. I guess I just thought the Girl Scouts had a thing for the South Pacific.
Even though she was able to sell quite a few this year, she was 12 short of reaching the sell goal set for each of the girls. So now my freezer has 8 boxes of Girl Scout cookies in it, you know, for long term storage. I gave away one box, there are two boxes in the pantry and a box of Tagalongs sitting right here, next to me. Mmm, Tagalongs.
