Look - here I am - posting again! Wahoo! I did it, I did it! OK, see ya later!
Just kidding. I do have something to say - and those of you that know me know I always have something to say.
Today I want to talk about Thin Mints. I love these cookies. Do you know about them? Surely you do. The elusive Thin Mint. It only comes out once a year from the Girl Scouts. They hide them the rest of the year, keeping them from us only to make us want them more. And it works, it works.
If you don't know what they are, they are a delicious chocolate cookie covered in a mint like fudge coating. Mint like. Meaning, it's not really mint? I don't know, I don't care - all I want is to have them in mass quantities.
Thin mints come in two sleeves in their green package. I could feasibly eat one whole sleeve in a sitting. Mind you, I haven't - yet. But I could. When I was in college I used to dip them in cream cheese. I know, gross. But at the time, it was good. You see what happened was we were eating Doritos and cream cheese, and then the Thin Mints were there - and we thought, hey - it will be like chocolate mint cheese cake. It wasn't. But my point is, I love Thin Mints.
My other favorite thing to do with them is to put them in the freezer. They're just good that way. Also, my husband doesn't like them - so I get them all to myself. yay.
One last story about Thin Mints - this year when I ordered them I did not want to run out. I mean, those pesky little Girl Scouts only offer them once a year (they're really kind of selfish, don't you think?). So I ordered 4 boxes. Then I had to also order something for my hubby, Lemonades and Peanut Butter sandwich cookies. Then of course I had to order the ever popular Carmel Delights and some sort of friendship cookie thing. At the end, my total order came to about $30. $30!!! Those pesky Girl Scouts sure are industrious. Anyway, when my friend sent out the email that said what everyone owed for the cookies, there was a whole list of $5, $3, $6 and then there was me - $30. I got more grief over that. Did they have to publicize my addiction to everyone like that?
Oh well, I really don't care. I love Thin Mints. So there.

My 2 boxes of Thin Mints are already gone. I ate 85% of them. I did eat one sleeve in a setting. I put them in the freezer so I wouldn't think about them. Did you know they have a voice that calls from the freezer? It's bad I have issues. I have a half a box of shortbread cookies in the cabinet that I haven't touched at all. The kids will eat them.
When I went to my mom's, she had orderd 2 boxes of thin mints (she doesn't like them). She gave me one. I have a half a sleeve yet. I'm trying to savor it, but it's sooo hard.
I have to be honest, I was never a huge fan of thin mints - but between a friend of mine and myself on Friday, we at a sleeve in about 10 minutes while chatting. Caramel Delights are devilishilly divine!!! I think they bake crack into the cookie batter! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!
