Girls Scouts are out in force selling their famous cookies.
I have to buy some if for no other reason than I was once
a Girl Scout and enjoying going door to door in my neighborhood to sell them. It was a different time, I don't think anyone does that anymore.
Instead, parents take the forms to work for orders or
their troop sets up a table outside the grocery stores.
This year I bought the Dulce de Leche, Lemon Chalet,
and the ever popular Thin Mints, which I enjoy with
a hot cup of cocoa -- they go so well together.
Today I chose the Dulce de Leche with my tea.
Best dunked into tea before consuming. Good choice.
The tea select is Marco Polo -- a black tea blend
purchased from the Mariage Freres Tea Shop in Paris, France.
Their selection of teas is the largest I've ever seen --
so many that they have published a booklet listing them.
Hard to pick with so many choices but Marco Polo is one of my favorites. It's perfect without adding a thing to it.
