    There's a few things to remember about the cookies, the price is higher then regular cookies because they're for a fund raiser. They will only be on sale for a few weeks each year in your area. They freeze very well, and the Samaos with coconut are my crack.

    Thin mints are the best. When I met my husband in 2001 he was stationed in NC about 4 hrs from where I lived. He is from TX and all his family still lives here. His sister was in girl scouts at the time and was selling girl scout cookies. He bought a case of girl scout cookies and had them sent to the barracks where all the Marines he worked with wanted some.

    We don't split spaghetti in Italian families. We also put salt in the water.

    Thin Mints and the Shortbread cookies are my favorites. The regular peanut butter cookies are good too.

    Boiling the spaghetti was funny. I used to always break it in half when my children were young and I just continued doing it. One time my adult son was visiting and the scene was exactly. I went to break it on top of the boiling water, and my son jumped up to stop me. 😅😅😅

    Linguine is flat pasta. Spaghetti is cylindrical. Also, you need a larger pot with higher sides, or else the pasta won't cook properly. Barilla is a good brand or DeCecco or homemade/fresh pasta is another option.

    Samoas are the best Girl Scout cookies. Chocolate, coconut, caramel, on a cookie. Perfection. And I'm not even Italian, but seeing that spaghetti about to be broken in half...I felt my heart jump into my chest lol.

    Anyone who knows chocolate would not select Hershey's. The problem with Hershey's is that over the decades, they started adding more sugar and less chocolate in their chocolate bars. They got lazy and greedy, and produced a poor quality of chocolate. I think more people would buy it if they improved the quality. Unfortunately, the brand is bigger than the quality. When people want to make snacks like "S'mores", they believe that they are obligated to use Hershey bars in the recipe, when using a good quality of chocolate is the way to go.
