St Patrick's Day


Mint Oreo Cookies jumped into my grocery cart this afternoon.
It just seemed appropriate, don't you think?

    2. Oh good gosh no! Hahaha!
      Delicious with a cup of coffee....decaf of course!

      Delete
    3. I gave up on the decaf! haha...would you believe I couldn't sleep?
      That's right...I slept terribly while drinking decaf. I went back to caffeine and sleep through the night.
      I know...I'm weird. ha.

    4. I guess your body knows what it needs....
      Glad you are sleeping again!

      Delete
    5. Yeah, I gave the decaf one week and didn't sleep well for all of the nights. Even my fitbit said
      I wasn't sleeping well! haha.

  4. It is a great solution to have Irish cookies ready-made and delicious.

    1. Home made would have been even better, I'm sure!

    1. You're closer to Ireland than we are...you should be drowning in green things this week! :) Just like Georgina said...even Shamrock flavored crisps!

    2. The Irish team beat us at Rugby recently . . . :(
      We do like the Irish very much (but don't tell them!!!) . . . lol
      My house colours at school was green . . :)

    3. Like Eddie, I have never seen those biscuits before in this part of the world. The nearest we have would be 'Bourbon Creams'

    4. No Oreo cookies at all? They are one of our most popular. Hydrox Brand used to be a competitor but I don't know if they are around any longer. I'll have to send you some. :)

      Delete
    5. For my birthday? I'll share them with Eddie.

      Delete
    6. They might all be gone before Eddie can come up for a visit! :)

  6. One of my favorites! I hope some jump in my cart next!

    1. Look at you!
      Your own holiday, too!
      I'll eat the green cookies for you,
      including all the chemicals, too. haha.
      Now I'm drinking green tea
      in keeping with the theme spree!

    2. haha sounds like a plan
      green tea also not a fan

  8. They look wonderful..I think I will walk up and down that cookie aisle until they jump into my cart too! It worked once..it could again, right?

  9. Absolutely.
    If I had been at the store they would have jumped into mine too!

  11. I'm not a fan of many of the new Oreo varieties, but mint? I would have had way more than three!

    1. Well, I've had a total of six now but that's my limit. At least that's what my fitbit is telling me. lol....

  12. I agree with you on the bedtime drink. I tried cocoa and couldn't get to sleep, so I switched to decaff and still had restless nights. Then I went back to ordinary coffee and now I sleep straight through until the feathered pests outside wake me up with their dawn chorus. Ha.

    1. Isn't that strange? Glad you agree with me...I thought I was crazy! I sleep straight through until the coffee pot starts brewing on my night stand. haha.

    1. I had to put them out of sight so they would stop calling my name. haha.

  15. I love so many kinds of food, but for the life of me, I just can't like mint. I know that's probably a sin, but forgive me I have tried. I love the way they look. Guess I would just have to put green coloring in vanilla filled... That little green heart is so cute.

    3. Such a sacrifice, but I'll do it...sigh....just for you.... lol....

  16. I haven't seen these before but I do like the mint/chocolate combo. I have things that vault into my cart too - and I can't for the life of me get them to vault back out. Sigh. :-)

    1. I have to admit that I've never tried to vault any back out! haha...I just say, "Welcome...come home with me!" lol....

  20. Bet those cookies would be a great "pick-me-up" right now. Just got back from exercise class and I don't have the energy to even go to the kitchen to eat. Do you have a big sling shot? Could you shoot one to me, right about now?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. LOL!! Oh, you crack me up! If I had a big sling shot, I'd most certainly shoot a few to you! Exercise class? You deserve a cookie or two!

      Delete
    2. Yeah, I do. Instructor liked to have killed me....and I'm a runner. Lol!! We did high intensity interval training...so 4 sets of intervals. We did about 1200 jumping jacks total and that was just one exercise. She's also my yoga instructor. If I survive, I'll surely be a strong, flexible chick one day soon. Ha!

  21. Mm, they look good. Don't think we get those here, though we do now get the regular black and white ones.
