I was really excited to make the thin mints recipe by honeysuckle catering since it didn't contain partially hydrogenated oils like the real ones. However, I didn't end up liking the recipe. Here were my main 2 issues:
1. Bittersweet chocolate was not nearly sweet enough to coat these cookies. This is the main reason why I didn't like them
2. 1/4 inch is too thick to slice them. I started out slicing them 1/4 inch thick, but realized that is about double the thickness of regular Girl Scout cookies, so I started doing the rest 1/8 inch. They were better & crisp all the way through.
Overall I think it's worth it to pay $4 for the box of thin mints from the Girl Scouts. These are just not the same :(

I wanted to capture the essence of her giving energy to the tree. It seemed full of life. The challenge for me was I couldn't keep her shadow out of the frame and keep the tree balanced in the picture. So I had to leave the shadow.
I made a dunkelweizen using the kit from www.morebeer.com - I'll let you know how it turns out in a couple of weeks! I had to aerate it without using an aerator too... quite a lot of work. Also, I'm not strong enough to lift the kettle and such on my own, so a lot of it was a two-person job. The wort tasted promising, so I'm looking forward to trying the final product. Thanks James!
