Is it a brand name, putting out several varieties of cookies, or are
Peek Freans a particular variety?

It is a brand name. They make a variety of biscuits like Digestive,
Shortbread, Tea biscuits, Nice. My favourites are the round ones with
currants in them. They also have layers biscuits, like Bourbon Cream
(chocolate) , cream filled, jam filled.


If you should ever see them for sale give them a try. They are pretty good.

Yeah, that's weird. I always get the Trefoils, but haven't seen a
lemon pastry cream in years. I'll lean on them little hussies next
year.

It is around here! Preorders came in a month ago, but there's still
soccer moms outside of every Wal-Mart in town with a half-dozen
cases.......

I've been seeing GS and their parents in front of supermarkets around here
for several weeks now. That's how I get mine.

We bought a new variety called Lemon Coolers this year. They were a
new, low-fat variety. I thought they were boring. My daughter liked em
though. (We seem to be Little Brownie residents here in VA)

I saw those, but they didn't look very good so I didn't get any. The
Lemon Pastry Cremes had a flaky pastry cookie with lemon filling.

I restricted myself to two boxes o' thin mints this year. I'm half-way
through the first "line" of box 2.

Yeah, but the goal is to teach boys how to be men, not sheep, which is
what
some of the leaders believe.

Keep the parents involved.
The majority of that crap can be prevented that way?

I was there the whole time. But, there were a lot of kids from households
with missing fathers. They were either alone at the meetings, or with their
mothers, and the moms were not inclined to **** on the troop leader. If it
hadn't been for me and one other dad, there never would've been a knot-tying
night. The leader thought rope was dangerous. A-hole.

My son and I had such hideous experiences with the Boy Scouts that the

That's unfortunate. Hopefully, an isolated case and not represetative
of the organization as a whole. After 3-4 yrs as a Cub Scout and 3 as
a Boy Scout, I finally quit due to blatant nepotism within our troop.
But, while I regret that incident, I can't default an organization
that taught me many meaningful lessons in life, gave me a lifelong
love of the outdoors, and provided my with many great memories.
Unfortunately, like any organization, it can only be as good as the
people running it at any given time.

I can't respect any group that chooses to dump on a religion (Unitarianism)
because the U-church accepts gays. If I wanted my son hanging with
neanderthals, I'd take him to Republican party gatherings.

The organization attracts some real ******s! My son's troop did a trip
from
upstate NY to Hershey, PA and a few other places down there. The leader
was
a woman who had her head up her ass. When we arrived at the church to
depart, she had arranged for the priest to bless the troop and the trip.

I had to wonder about our local pack right from the beginning. One of the
first
events was the Cub Car rally. In case you don't have them there, the kids
buy
the car kids, basically a few pieces of wood with some axles and plastic
wheels
and they put them together and paint and decorate them. Then they get
together
and have a race. They also judge the cars on appearance. The cub master's
kid
won. There is no question it was the nicest car. His father did a great
job on
it. If I had known that it was a project for the fathers I would have
done my
son's car for him. I thought it was hi project and made him do it himself.

Yeah...same thing here. Even my son said it was insane how much technology
was being applied by some of the fathers.

GS cookes are a total rip-off! Anyone who buys them should be punished
to the fullest extent of the law! They demean the GS, who make very
little from them, line the pockets of the manufacturer, and defraud the
customer. This is a total hoax and should not be allowed to continue!

Oh, BTW, my favorites are those delicious Tagalongs! Can't pass them
up!

All of them, unfortunately. About 10 or 12 years ago when our daughters
were young, my wife was an assistant Girl Scout leader. For a few years
in a row, she got the job of managing cookie sales. We stored cases of
cookies in our garage until they were distributed to the Troop for
sales. Of course we ended up buying cases of the stuff for family and
friends. The sad thing is, the local Troop that does all the work only
received less than 25-cents per box of cookies, out of the then $ 2.00
per box price.
