    3/7/21 – Cookie Selfie

    The things I’ll do for a cookie (or three)! On my longer ride this morning, I didn’t see any GS sellers, but when we stopped at a bakery, I got a huge chocolate chip cookie. You know, for carbo-loading.

    After I got home, I saw the posting about the -GS Find-a-cookie, so I looked for the nearest place. I hopped on a bike share and headed to Adams Morgan, but no dice at the location. Then it was off to Georgetown to Saxbys. They were out of Samoas, my favorite, so I picked up some lemon-ups.

    Honestly, my favorite cookie is hot out of the oven at home, like a salted toffee, my latest batch.

    3/7/21 Cookie – GS Cookie Selfie

    Thanks to my riding partner, Lefty Laura, I have the goods to garnish 2 points without having to actually purchase any myself. If I’d known how bad this was going to look at the end of a ride, I might have done it differently, but there you are.

    A good excuse to try the sugar cookies at Firehook Bakery!

    3/7 – cookie

    Since I was forbidden from getting more cookies (we’re at the age where a lot of friends from when we were young now have Girl Scouts to support so we’re well enough stocked): here’s a picture of where DCAKen got his cookies (sales were at the table out front)!

    3/7/21 – Cookie

    After yesterday’s successful collaboration on combining periodic elements, [mention]HokieBeth [/mention] and I joined forces once again today to share the last oatmeal raisin cookie at Firehook Bakery in Alexandria VA, 20 minutes after their closing hour, as I was able to sweet talk my way in by explaining why we needed a cookie [emoji514]!e0720370303ab64ca310668a20fa5c0a.jpg

    3/7/21 cookie
    While I did eat a girl scout cookie on my ride, it was not one I purchased. So here’s an excellent place to buy a cookie. be6c1a8833a90e65e30bafeac847ffe5.jpg

    3/7/2021 — cookie selfie. Specifically, a selfie with a Samoa, which I purchased from the very energetic Girl Scouts outside Vienna Rexall Drugs and consumed later on during my ride:

    As an alternative, if you don’t want to go inside or buy a cookie, take a pic of a bakery where you’d buy a delicious cookie for yourself or a friend. This’ll net you a point.

    The Girl Scouts website said they were selling at CVS, but when I got there, they were gone. 8(
    Sweetbites (McLean VA) has great coffee and more, but they were closed, too. 8(

    3/7/21 Girl Scout cookie
    I have six boxes in my freezer, and definitely don’t need more. But I figure I was the easiest customer they had all day. I didn’t care that they were out of Thin Mints, because I wasn’t planning on eating the cookies anyway. I gave them a $10 bill for a $6 box of cookies, and told them they could consider the extra to be a donation rather than giving me change. I never removed my mask. And when I finished photographing the box of cookies, I put it in the box for donations to teachers.

    Then again, I hear that buying Girl Scout cookies will support transgender lesbian Socialist Satanists. In that case, I should have bought several more boxes! ;)

    3/7/21 Girl Scout cookie

    I contacted my local Girl Scout cookie resource and scored a box of thin mints, probably my personal favorites. Hopped on the bike, picked up the cookies, met KbikeVA, rode to the art ride. We had a lovely time cruising Reston art, followed by socially-distance tacos at tacos zocalo. Tacos and thin mints is a real party! Please note box on my shoulder. (Sounds like a John Denver tune)

    Boomer’s link didn’t turn up any close-by Girl Scout sellers today, nor did I encounter any during my ride. I swung by the grocery store to get some cheap but disturbingly good, artificially flavored lemon snaps.

    3/7/21 – Cookie

    I biked with my Girl Scout to Uncle Chips, a favorite spot for cookies or black bean brownies. Unfortunately located on North Capitol.

    We do appreciate the Girl Scouts support and can bike-deliver cookies in DC if orders are placed this week:o
