Actually, that would be very inappropriate. But how would you feel about some Do-Si-Does Peanut Thai Chicken Salad?
Every year—and I can never remember when; it just happens—the doorbell rings, and there’s the cutest little dumpling in the world standing there in her Girl Scout uniform, with her order form and dimples, not saying a word, just daring you to order fewer than three boxes. And you know there’s going to be more dimples ringing your bell in a day or two, which means more boxes of cookies. There's death and taxes, and there's Girl Scout Cookies right beside those unassailable certainties.
Their incredible success, over 80 years strong and still crunching, is a testament to tradition, dimples, and cookies. But no organization lasts that long without innovating, and Girl Scouts has also done their fair share of twisting their thinking. One delicious proof point: some of the recipes they’re currently promoting.
Anyone for Samoas Fried Shrimp? How about a Thank You Berry Munch Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad? I love reading about the ways Girl Scouts have come up with new ways to use their cookies. NPR even caught wind and did a story and taste test, and the recipes passed with flying colors.
You can argue that nothing can touch the joyful gastronimic purity of Thin Mints and an ice cold glass of milk. But maybe you should wait to make that argument til you've had a Tagalongs shake.
