Back at month's beginning, on February's first day, it was a pleasure to relish in the visit of former WFU student Alison with her husband Josh and their three terrific kids. In our catch-up conversation was the report that her daughter is a Girl Scout and that naturally turns a conversation, especially at this time of the year, to Girl Scout cookies. I told her about the recipe we'd enjoyed here for almost a decade, where two kinds of Girl Scout cookies are key ingredients in a lemon shortbread cheesecake. I sent her home with a recipe and then she surprised me with a package in the mail, containing the boxes of cookies I'd need to make it myself. Therein lay a happy mandate, and I tackled it at the beginning of Presidents' Day week. Then it was a marvelous dessert following another evening with more chicken salad on Tuesday night. It's pretty straightforward and uncomplicated and a real gem for the supper patrons when those Girl Scout cookies are wisely obtained.
