brownie cookies

i had to laugh friday night. mark and i went to a pub for some quick eats because we were both starving. little did i know that an oilers game was on and our server appeared to be one serving many.

as we waited for our supper to arrive i caught a glimpse of two little girls. more specific: two little girls dressed as cookies. more specific: brownie cookies! immediately mark passed me some money to buy the original cookies that we both love so much (him vanilla, myself chocolate). after all, they had to have them because they were dressed like cookies.

as i walked towards the girls, there expressions were priceless at the potential sell. "i'll take two boxes please," i said. as they passed me the two boxes in their hands i realized a drastic mistake. these were not the originals. they were the mint. i do like the mint, but mark does not. therefore, i definitely don't need two boxes worth. i asked if they happened to have any originals. sold out. sigh, looking at their faces, and both already expressing their gratitude i went back to our table with two boxes of mint thins. i explained to mark, that i too was a brownie once, and brownies don't let brownies down. he just laughed.

my cookie purchase led me to a little research to track down the elusive originals. sigh...website said: released spring 2011. something to look forward too.
