I am planning to start a series called “A few of my favorite things…” to be posted on Fridays. But I couldn’t wait until Friday to share some of my favorite things from this weekend.
I read the first of the Hunger Games books in about 6 hours on Saturday. We also enjoyed watching the movie Moneyball which I thought was really good. I’ve become obsessed with Chai Tea lately and more specifically Chai Tea Lattes from Starbucks. I tried my hand and making them at home and they were pretty good but I added a tad too much milk this time. Last but not least, I bought Girl Scout Cookies this weekend from a cute little brownie troop. My favorites are the Samoas (apparently they called them Caramel de Lites now? seriously, no. and Shortbreads are called Trefoils and Peanut Butter Chocolates are called Tagalongs! What is with all the uncreative names? seriously, just no.) It has definitely been hard not to eat the entire box already. Maybe I’ll just postpone this whole eating better thing…. lol.

Hahaha I might be far away in a different country, but somehow my weekend was pretty close to yours! Lots of girl scout cookies (I was so excited to find some girl scouts out here!) and chai tea lattes! I make my own at home over the stove, and use a tiny bit extra milk than chai.

Girl Scout cookies, depending on where you buy them, are sold by one of two different manufacturers. One of them uses the creative names from down here like Tagalongs and Samoas, and the other uses the descriptive names like the ones you bought. Depending on the region, the name will change. In Orlando, they have the descriptive names as well.

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED The Hunger Game Series! I read ALL three books in a week! The movie is set to release late summer, so we need to check it out! I too love chai tea but have never tried my hand at making them at home. And thanks to a door to door GS, I will have six boxes of Thanks A Lots arriving in a week or two…YES, six boxes 😉
