We were out running some errands and came upon a local Girl Scout troop offering up everyone's favorites at $3.50 per box.
We got: Thin Mints (of course), Samoas, Do-Si-Dos, and, what I think are a new addition to the lineup, All-Abouts.
All-Abouts are a shortbread cookie with fudge chocolate on the bottom. Mmmm. Each cookie has a saying about what being a Girl Scout is all about, thus the All-About name. Recommended.
(The irony is that one of our later stops was to get me a new blood glucose monitor to replace the old one I've had for about ten years.)

...(maybe because I've been pandering Girl Scout cookies for eleven years now), but I will deliver cookies to any business in *north* Knoxville.
Or, my 15 year-old Girl Scout and I will conduct a cookie booth at Lowe's on Clinton Highway tomorrow, Sunday, March 4, from 2-4 pm (if you are perhaps an extraterrestrial and don't know anyone at all selling cookies).
Randy, you must have overlooked our new offering this year, Sugar-Free Little Brownies. The remainder of our product line includes:
Trefoils (the shortbread cookie, since 1912)
Do-Si-Dos (the peanut butter sandwich cookie)
Samoas (the caramel-coconut one, drizzled with fudge)
All Abouts (as Randy described, new about 4 years ago)
Cafe Cookies (new last year, the crispy cinnamon shortbread)
Tagalongs (the chocolate-covered peanut butter patty)
Thin Mints (what-are you from another universe altogether?!)
If you're out and about on the north end tomorrow, please consider stopping by to support my eleventh-year Senior Girl Scout, as she begins work on her Gold Award (the equivalent of the Eagle Scout rank in Boy Scouts). Only 1% of girls nationally will earn it!

Why did they take out the trans-fat? It's friggin cookies, how good for you could they possibly be? Oh well, I've already eaten 2 whole boxes anyways...

Ah, you're lookin' for Samoas or Tagalongs (or, as I call the Tags, Breakfast of Champions), bchesney. They're each 75 calories per itsy bitsy cookie. Pay no attention to the serving size--it's a misprint. ;-)

A friend gave me one of those brownies last night and I almost spewed. Very dry and not tasty at all...give me some suger filled Thin Mints and/or those with the coconut on top.

Thanks! Reckon I'll have to go out and get 5 or 6 boxes to tide me over!
I will deliver the cookies to any business in Knoxville.
I got hit up for a few boxes today myself. I'm a sucker for the thin mints. Besides, how can you tell them no?

That would be me...no kids left in my neighborhood...and I'm too old to be a Girl Scout anymore.

We'll be at Ben & Jerry's from 2-4 on Sunday. Cookies and ice cream, yummy.
Tamara, what is her Gold project? We're finishing Silver.
I don't think sugar free Brownies are a hot item in Blount County.
Is there only one Ben & Jerry's in town?
