What is it about girl scout cookies that can transform an otherwise mundane day into something extraordinary? Is it their seasonal character, like bird migration .. the fact that, like unusual bird sightings, I cannot have them anytime I want them? But what makes them so perfect in every way? For those who care, I had a samoa, several tagalongs -- only because everyone else ate most of them before I got there -- and a bunch of little brownies, and I am still thinking about them, just as I think about the birds I see after I have been out birding.

So where have I been all day? In short, I wasted a perfectly good day of internet connectivity so I could go to the hospital -- not as a patient nor as an emergency arrival, although the day was such an abortion that it is surprising that I didn't end up in the psych ER after all was said and done…
Last Friday afternoon my mother and step-mother came to visit. My mother had surgery on her foot back in the summer and has had a long, slow recovery, and is only now able to travel and drive, so this was the first visit in nearly six months. As we sat around the table, we joked that it would be…
I love the Tagalongs too, but I think the Samoas are kind of gross. My other favorites are Thin Mints and Do-Si-Dos. I like the fact that I'm virtually the only one who enjoys Do-Si-Dos. But I think it's unfair that you get more thin mints than the others when you buy a box, yet they're all the same price. Smacks of thin mint-ism to me!
Forgive my ignorance, but what are Tagalongs, Samoas and Do-Si-Dos?
I'm guessing some type of biscuit/crumpet.
Tagalongs, Samoas, and Do-Si-Dos are varieties in a famous line of biscuits called "Girl Scout Cookies", manufactured exclusively for the Girl Scouts of America, and sold by them door-to-door in annual fund-raising drives.
