A Girl Scout Troop was set up outside Kroger and I chose three different boxes of cookies which I thought that Gerald, Les, and I would enjoy. The Scout, her mother, and I chatted amiably and I told them that I had recipes using Girl Scout cookies. The Scout asked about the recipes and I told her that my favorite recipe called for the lemon cookies to make a crust and then add cream cheese, lemon pudding, milk, and whipped cream for a delicious dessert. The girl was very cute and said, "Will you bring me some? I'll be here awhile!" I said, "I think I should bring you hot chocolate as it's rather cold."
I handed the Scout's mother a $10 bill and she said, "That will be $12.00."
I gasped and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm just going to buy one box!"
$4.00 for 6 ounces of "Savannah Smiles" which is approximately 25 little cookies is ridiculous.
Les said, "They should be called SAVANNAH FROWNS"
