Put them in ice tea, dry them and keep to make hot tea, freeze them with water in ice cube trays and add to summer drinks.
How to use fresh whole mint leaves?
Pick the leaves, wash them under cold water, and chop up fine to add to salads etc. Don't use many as they taste very strong. Add about 5 leaves to peas when they are cooking for minted peas. Chop a few leaves very fine and stir through yoghurt and minced cucumber for a cooling dip to serve with hot curries. Tie a bunch of leaves together and run your hot bath water over it for an energising bath. Boil a couple of leaves and use the water for a herbal tea for indigestion
Reply:you can use it to make sauces,cooking, you can also decide to dry them up if you want. use it with salads esp′with noodles. can also use it to make ice tea, use it flower arrangment. or some people use it to make a vodka drinks

How much would somebody be willing to pay for my mint condition right arm of Exoidia?
This card is in mint condition. If you are wondering why I would be selling a mint conditon card it is because I have grown out of yu-gi-oh cards and I want to sell them instead of giving them to my brother who is not offering any money.

What color tie with charcoal suit/mint green dress shirt?
I have an interview next week for a promotion at work. Because I recently lost a lot of weight, my clothing collection's a little thin at the moment. I want to wear a charcoal grey single-breasted suit with a mint green pinpoint oxford shirt, but don't have any ties that go well with this combination. Any tie color suggestions? I want to stand out, because they're interviewing several candidates, but want to remain conservative, as I'm in law enforcement, so they're not expecting Mr. GQ.
What color tie with charcoal suit/mint green dress shirt?
That shirt color is a poor choice. Go with a nice conservative white shirt. Then wear a striped tie with grey and blue in it. Otherwise you will stand out for the wrong reason. Let your personality and your credentials stand out instead.
Reply:I hope you get the job. You will look very nice and polished. (Don't forget to shine your shoes.) Report It
Reply:I'm def seeing a dark green almost hunter green and better yet with a small design with matching mint color . Solid color works though.
Reply:Charcoal or Black.
Reply:black or grey would match well
Reply:charcoal, cause the suit is charcoal, the two charcoal would look outstanding
Reply:Honestly, if you're trying to stay conservative, a mint green shirt might seem a little bit off, and the best way to stand out would be to look well put together. Since you did just loose a lot of weight, it's time to invest in some new clothes, so you can show off your new look. Try a look such as a thin blue pinstriped shirt and a charcoal grey herringbone tie, or go a little bit more bold with a logoed tie, such as a navy Band of Outsiders tie. By avoiding a solid white shirt, you'll already have half of the other candidates beat. The most important thing you can do as far as presentation is to make sure your clothing fits. Make sure you visit a tailor if you're wearing an older suit, and don't waste money on new clothes if older clothes can be altered by a tailor. Hope you get the job!
Reply:You could get a tie in a complementary shade of green to go with the shirt.
That's a popular trend these days. It would probably look really sharp.
And good luck with the interview!
Reply:perhaps a darker shade of green or something with thin stripes. Black works, too.
Reply:I love the color pink of course with anything green, but a yellow or blue will stand out as well.
Reply:i attended business college and we had to take a course in professional development. i will share with you some interviewing attire ettiquette. first of all the mint green shirt is going to be a no no. I would go with a simple crisp white shirt and dark tie with a small amount of design on it. if your really wanting the green color then i would purchase a tie that has a min amount of green in the tie. stay conservative and classic. flashy doesn't always pay off. Your credentials are what need to shine. Good luck. Hope you get the job.

How come a coin-making factory is called a mint ?
Is there any correlation to the herb of the same name ? I hate it when people selling consumer electronics or other non-numismatic items say it's in mint condition, when it never came from a mint. I want to be a smartass and ask if it comes in any other flavors.
How come a coin-making factory is called a mint ?
The problem with English is we not only have words, that have more than one meaning, but are also are spelled the same. The word mint is from Middle English, which came from the old English word mynet (means coin). Today the noun, is a place where money is coined by the Authority of a government. The verb, is to form by stamping or punching. Used as an adjective we have "as if new". You are waisting your time with the flavor joke on a person who is a true coin collector or numismatist, it will go over his head. When someone say mint to me, I never think of the one used in tea or a candy. In fact it never crosses my mind at all. That is unless someone is serving tea or candy. I am not a collector per se of ancient Greek coins, I do have a few, but don't get deep into them, so I am not sure what the Ancient Greeks or Persians, to think of them, called a mint. You eat the mints I will collect the coins. It is a great feeling to have in ones hand, a coin George Washington may have spent for lunch.
Reply:A mint is where money is coined by the authority of the government.It also means when something is in its original condition. It is also a plant used for flavoring.As you can see, it is a word with several meanings, one having nothing to do with the other.It depends on it's applied usage.
Reply:Production of coins,commemorative coins or any related materials is know as mintage of coins.So the word mint is the root word of mintage.The word mint is similar to the word burn which it has double meaning where it can be used to burn something as well as burn a document to a CD or DVD.

How much is a Basketball in mint condition signed by the entire Utah Jazz Team worth?
It's at least 20 years old as my family has had it for as long as I can remember and I'm 23. It is signed by Mark Eaton (just prior to retirement), Karl Malone (rookie days), John Stockton (rookie days) and the entire rest of the team as it was at that time. The Ball is in mint condition and its a standard issue game style ball (not one of those multi colored fan balls)......I checked ebay and could not find a single other ball of this type on the entire site so I was wondering if anyone could tell me the approximate value of something like this.

It is worth what someone will give you for it. There is no definite price structure for such items. The only true way to find out is to have it appraised by a sports memorabilia dealer.

How do I stop Mint from taking over my garden, I planted some 3 years ago and it is popping up everywhere?!!?
You need to spray it with weed spray. Something that won't hurt your plants, but will kill the mint. I had that stuff all over my yard and the weed spray worked. Just don't use a weed spray that is a vegetation killer. It will kill your plants and your grass too.

Most of the time, it works if you uproot the Mint regularly.

Further reference for you, I would start a new garden.
When if ever to plant mint again, plant it in it's own container.
Reply:plant it in pots if you want to keep it and don't want it to take over... the reason it does this is because it has some underground stems called "rhizomes" that shoot all under the ground and send stems upwards... if you don't want to use the abundance uproot some and stick it in a pot and leave the pot slightly above ground... this will ease your troubles...

which has the location of pretty much every major comic book store. However, depending on the age of the comics, do not expect to get too much for them. Unless they are really old, dating back to the 1960's and 1970's run, most comics are not especially valuable. The exception is 1st appearances and rare issues, which are also nice. You may want to buy an issue of Wizard or another pricing guide magazine to see if you have anything especially valuable, because you don't want to get ripped off. This will give you a ballpark of what to expect. However, if it is not a special issue and is from the 1980's or 1990's, don't expect to get more than 25 cents an issue, in all honesty. If you have complete runs of certain series, you might be able to charge a little more. Also, if you are going to sell them on line, through craigslist or some other method, you should give some general issue numbers and let people know which ones you have, that way you are more likely to attract people who are interested. I for one in primarly only interested in old New Mutants and X-force, rather than X-men in general. People usually have specific series they are looking for. Hope this helps and good luck!

What kind of mint for juleps?
I have made them before, using mint from the produce section at the store which was just called "mint". Now I have a friend who has some fresh mint growing in her backyard and she has offered to give me some to make my juleps. But then she said "do you need spearmint or peppermint" ? And I realized I don't know ! When you buy mint in the store, what kind of mint is it? I'm thinking the mint juleps tasted like spearmint, but I don't want to chance it. Anybody know for sure? Preferably southerners so I know it's authentic! (ha)
What kind of mint for juleps?
Use spearmint
Kentucky Derby Mint Juleps
Fresh mint, enough to yield about 2 cups after removing leaves and chopping, plus enough extra sprigs to put in each drink
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
Crushed ice
Bourbon
Pre-Derby Day Steps (Making the Mint-Sugar Syrup):
Remove the leaves from the mint and chop them; you do not need to finely chop, just enough to break the leaves into pieces
Boil the mint, water, and sugar; stir until the sugar dissolves (about 5-10 minutes)
Strain the mixture to remove the mint leaves
Put the mixture in the fridge overnight
Derby Day Steps (Making the Mint Julep):
Fill a glass with crushed ice
Add the mint-sugar syrup and bourbon, using about 2-3 parts bourbon to 1 part syrup, depending on your needs
Garnish with a mint sprig and serve
Reply:Spearmint is used to make mint juleps. Spearmint has big leaves. Peppermint has small leaves. So if the leaves of the mint that your friend has are big, use it because it's spearmint.
Reply:Spearmint is what's usually in recipes, but there are others that will work. You should know there are 1000+ standard varieties of mint out there.
If you want to get technical, the type of spearmint you want is Kentucky Colonel spearmint (mentha spicata cv.).
But really, any kind of mint will work. If you have a choice, go with spearmint (which is the more standard mint).
Reply:Typically it's spearmint. A kitchen garden mint can be a couple of varieties. Don't worry, the flavors are very similar. The julep can be improved by combining different types to give some flavor complexity to the drink.
Enjoy.

What are mint leaves ,where can i get them.how do i make/get plain youghurt?
Mint leaves are the leaves of a mint plant, you can get dried ones in the spice section of a grocery store or fresh in the produce section of a nice grocery store.
Most grocery stores sell plain yogurt; it is generally in a larger container than the flavored stuff though.
What are mint leaves ,where can i get them.how do i make/get plain youghurt?
find the dried ones at the supermarket at the herbs and spice rack. There are mint extracts too. In specialty fresh herb markets you may be able to find them as well.
plain yogurt is usually available at most supermarkets. Just look and see if you can find it. Most peoples don't like it.
If this is for a recipe, I have substituted vanilla flavored yogurt and cut the sugar called for in half.
Reply:As the other poster mentioned, you can often find mint leaves in the fresh herb department of your grocery store. If you have no luck there, your local plant nursery should carry very small, inexpensive mint plants since many people like to grow mint in their herb gardens. Just make sure you buy organic -- you don't want pesticides in your food.
As for plain yogurt, Dannon brand makes a plain yogurt that's available in regular grocery stores or there are a few other brands available in specialty markets or natural markets.
Good luck.
Reply:Mint leaves are the leaves of the mint plant. You can get them where the herbs are in your produce department, or grow your own in a pot (get the seeds at a garden store). You can find plain yogurt in the dairy section (with the flavored yogurts) in any grocery store. To make your own, you'd still need plain yogurt as a starter.
Reply:Grow them, they sell the plants at plant nurserys.
Most grocery stores sell plain yogurt; it is generally in a larger container than the flavored stuff though.

I want to plant mint in my garden, but does it attract bees???? help!!?
I'm not sure whether to plant mint or not since I don't know if it will attract bees or wasps...I have plenty of that already and would like to know if maybe anyone also knows of any plants that might keep them away...thanks for any advice, it's greatly appreciated!!!!
I want to plant mint in my garden, but does it attract bees???? help!!?
blossoms draw bees.. mint will blossom, therefore.. bees.
Bees are actually good.. why does everyone want to get rid of bees?? they make fruit and veggies and nuts etc... possible!
the thing to fear from mint is that it tends to take over.. hard to get rid of once established.
Reply:Just a word of caution, when you plant mint it will spread like wildfire, it is a very invasive plant so if you keep it in a plot by itself it will be fine, but if you mix with other plants it will take over.
The flower spikes will attract bees from far and wide, also there are about 500 different varieties of mint so research the kind you want to grow.
Reply:Bees love sage, thyme, oregano, mint, tomatos, peppers, any brightly colored flowers, roses and fruit trees.
To keep bees away the only thing I can really come up with is garlic.
Reply:To truely discourage bees from our property, you might consider paving it.
But, really - unless you are allergic to bees, you have nothing to fear from them. They only want to gather pollen. They truly aren't concerned with people. The only times I have ever been stung by a bee is when I've stepped on them. (And then it could only be considered self-defense.)
It's wasps that are the aggressive ones. And only certain ones at that. Plants like mint are attractive to the little teeny tiny wasps that are called "beneficial" wasps because they paracitize the bugs that tend to eat our gardens. And bees, which pollenate our vegetables and fruit trees and such. Without which, quite a bit of our collective food supplies would disappear.
The nasty wasps can be discouraged with traps if you notice them. They are aggressive (especially Yellow Jackets - which are commonly mistaken for "bees", but they are shiny, not fuzzy) at the end of the season, when they can be seen around garbage cans, going for the remnants of peoples tossed soda cans and bottles. Bees don't do that.
So plant your mint! Be not afraid!
Though the mention of its' spreading is valid. You might want to plant it in a container, if you don't want it to get too big of a patch.
Reply:You won't have to worry much about bees. They are disappearing from our planet and an incredible rate. Scientists are saying it is due to cell phones. The frequency has screwed up the directional ability of bees and they are unable to find their way back to their nest.
Reply:Bees love anything that has flowers.
Reply:I didn't see too many bees around my patch of mint (about a half acre) at the entrance to my pasture in KY. The horses wouldn't come to an area where there are a lot of bees.
This was my constant supply for mint juleps for ten years until we came to FL. Fragrance is great and the horses loved it once in a while. And as said above it tends to take over. Make sure it has plenty of room to grow or grow it in a window box or potted. Very hardy.
I don't know of any plants that ward off bees and wasps. Contact the County Extention Agent in your county. Look in the phone book under State Agricultural Agencies.

What is the best way to help a mint plant grow when there are lots of weeds?
Mint is pretty indestructible! Given half a chance, mint will take over your whole garden.It grows best in partial shade and in moist, moderately rich, slightly acid soil, but it will grow in any light from full sun to full shade and in any kind of soil you happen to have. Set plants 12 to 18 inches apart,. To control their rampant ways, plant them in bottomless containers sunk into the soil. Clay drainage tiles, about 10 inches deep and 6 to 8 inches across, are ideal.Keep the soil moist until the plants are established.Pinch stem ends off each spring to keep plants bushy. At the end of the gardening season, prune plants back to near ground level and top-dress with compost.

Reply:Mint usually takes over any space it's put in. You must have too much grass. Don't ever put it in your herb garden or flower garden. I worked years killing it out, and I lost the war. It grows in the grass and we mow it. I had to move my garden, as the mint spreads from the roots. Is your soil well tilled?
Reply:pull the weeds and water it good
Reply:Pinch the mint back. Mint spreads quickly and will eventually overtake the grass and weeds. Pinching it back will allow this to happen faster. Take your pruning in the house and boil them on the stove. Your house will smell great, and the mint will spread -- 2 birds, 1 stone. Let it go to seed before fall, though.
My Nanny had a nice stand of mint around her pump house. No weeds. I sure would like to crush the leaves between my fingers one more time.
Reply:After mint plants get established you won't have many problems with other weeds, and all the mint family plants spread worse than many weeds.

What is the best way to grow mint?
NOT from seed - they're really tricky to germinate. Buy young plants and put them in larger pots. Don't plant them out in the garden unless you want them to take over the whole place! They're very easy to look after.

just take a piece about 6 inches (150mills) take off the bottom leaves leaving about 4 place in a glass of water, say covering 1/3 of your cutting, in indirect sunlight
change the water every couple of days
you will see roots appear
plant into pot with some potting mix
keep it moist but not over wet
it enjoys partial sun
each time you pass it pick off a few leaves to eat, yum yum

I have germinated thousands of seedlings in a greenhouse and indoors my home. Mint is a wonderful herb to grow. It is very easy to grow and does well in a container. Once it is established and you put in the ground, it will spread and can take over a garden area.
The key is purchasing a light weight potting soil with no bark. Add some vermiculite and humus to the soil. Add hot water to the soil mixture as this is wonderful for the root systems to get established. I will link you to the spices and herb section of my website. There is a page growing herbs that may be helpful. I also have a page in that section on mint.

Sometimes it overwinters just fine in the pots, and sometimes it doesn't, and I have to start over. In the ground it survives winter very well. It does have a tendency to overgrow everything else, so keep that in mind when you plant it. And one little seedling will become a large mass in no time!

Besides eucalyptus, what else are the types of mint leaves that can be found here in the philippines?
well, science fair is coming up and i need to know what else, besides eucalyptus, are the species of mint leaves here in the philippines... my idea is a mint ant repellant... because ants hate mint leaves, ive decided to try it out.. my goal, to create something thats less the price of baygon, but almost the same in quality and effectivity.. plus without any harmful chemicals...
Besides eucalyptus, what else are the types of mint leaves that can be found here in the philippines?
Actually you were right with the eucalyptus as mint.
Mint Family (Lamiaceae)
Square stems, bilabiate flowers, aromatic, Mediterranean, dry climate. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), Oregano (Origanum vulgare), marjoram (Origanum marjoram), Basil (Occium basilicum), Sage (Salvia officinalis), Mints (Mentha)
I only found this. Peppermint - Yerba buena link below
Patchouli
Derived from the leaves of Pogostemon cablin, a plant in the mint family native to the Philippines. China, India, Indonesia, and Philippines are major producers. The leaves and stems are cut and steam distilled. The resultant oil is allowed to age. The leaves yield about 3-5% oil by dry weight. This oil was especially popular during the 1960’s.

Mint garden: How do I take some to transplant in another location without harming the plant?
You don't need to be too careful with mint as it's a fairly hardy groundcover. Snip some of the foliage with roots intact and transplant that in some good potting medium. Water well and it should take care of itself.
Note: Don't plant mint in a garden bed without some barrier around it. You're better to keep it in a pot.
Mint garden: How do I take some to transplant in another location without harming the plant?
Any mint is very hardy.
Water well for two days, then cut off the tops leaving about a inch of top growth. Now gently with fingers or tool remove some roots with the cut tops.
Wet paper towels rolled around the roots and in a plastic shopping bag will keep them safely for 2/*3 days out of the sun or heat .
Reply:I planted mint last spring. It took over my garden, very hard to get rid of; therefore, very easy to transplant. I had a few growths coming up this spring, so I dup them up and gave them to a friend to plant. Good luck!
Reply:as easy as pulling or digging a piece up and put it in a new container,regular potting soil will suffice.herbs are easy to transplant,no green thumb necessary...good luck
Reply:Dig up a piece of the mint,being sure to get some roots.Plant where you wont it and keep watered for several days.Old plant will recover quickly,new plant will take hold quickly.Be careful where you plant,mints will spread and takeover and can be hard to control and or get rid of.It's best to keep mints in pots.
Reply:You can use an industrial laser or dynamite and not hurt mint. Or you can water them to get the ground moist and cut it up with a sharp spade. Another tool that works well for dividing plants is a serrated knife. Then just repack some soil around the mother and baby and water both well. You picked the best plant there is for your first division, mint is tough. RScott

Note: Don't plant mint in a garden bed without some barrier around it. You're better to keep it in a pot.

I mean, seriously, have you ever noticed this? And why is that? %26lt;3
When you eat something with mint in it and then drink water, why does your mouth feel even mintier?
When you eat the mint, the essential oils are left on your tongue. The water mixes with the mint oils, and coats your mouth with a light layer of minty goodness. I love to drop a peppermint in my drinking water-makes me drink more!

How much does a mint 1947 1st edition copy of Goodnight Moon cost?
I'm assuming you own the book and you're trying to find out how much it costs? It depends if the book is a first PRINTING and a first edition of the book. I'm not sure how the print lines were handled back in 1947 (those numbers you see on copyright pages; they usually go 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1). If any of those numbers are missing, you don't have a first printing, which can and will detract from the value of the book. I think the most you could probably get would be, perhaps, $30, $40? The book is printed often, so it's not like there's a large demand for it.
How much does a mint 1947 1st edition copy of Goodnight Moon cost?
I don't think any are available.

Like how exactly do you make it?
What does a mint julep consist of?
Early Times Mint Julep
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
Sprigs of fresh mint
Crushed ice
Early Times Kentucky Whisky
Silver Julep Cups
Reply:I have never tasted it....i m a PREAKNESS FAN from Md
1 - 1/4 cup vodka
4 cups orange juice
1 - 1/4 cup light rum
ice ring
3/4 cup triple sec
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
4 cups pineapple juice Report It
Reply:Best way to have it is to mix it up THE NIGHT BEFORE, or the 1st Friday in May....that way you can enjoy it around 10:00am for the Derby.
'Bout a two fist fulls of FRESH mint julips from your grocery store. Then chop them up coarsly. Throw it into a big ol' punch bowl, throw in a handle of Jim Beam, let it soak over night. Scoop and strain into a high ball glass with ice. Eh, it is an acquired taste. I perfer my bourbon on the rocks, but have to have a Julip at the Derby.
Reply:A real mint julep is made with bourbon and it tastes NASTY! We tried making them last summer but the fresh mint wasn't strong enough to cover the taste of the bourbon. Yuck. I suppose if you were to buy pre-made mint syrup and maybe add some Fresca it would be okay but you gotta like Bourbon to start with.
Reply:You will need:
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups water (branch water is ideal)
Fresh Mint
Crushed Ice
Kentucky Bourbon (2 ounces per serving)
Make a simple mint syrup* by boiling sugar and water together for 5 minutes; cool. Place in a covered container with 6 or 8 bruised mint sprigs. Refrigerate overnight.
Make a julep by filling a julep cup* or glass with crushed ice, then adding 1 tablespoon of mint syrup and 2 ounces of bourbon. Stir rapidly with a spoon to frost outside of cup or glass. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig..
*This makes enough syrup for about 44 juleps.
Reply:all good recipies! Just make sure you use good fresh mint and "muddle" well. I make mine by the glass. I put a little over a tablespoon of sugar and a few mint leaves in my glass, muddle well, toss in a couple ice cubes, about 2 shots of bourbon and a splash of spritzer (sprite works good in a pinch). Serve in a collins glass.

How much mint extract is equal to 12 small spearmint leaves?

Extracts are usually rather concentrated and it's better to put in less so you can more if you need, than put in too much and not be able to take any out.

Why do mint tic tacs taste like cream soda just for the first 2 seconds ?
Not really they have a fairly high sugar content even for mints and i think it's when the outer coating is dissolving which is pretty much hardened sugar so no it's not very surprising.

How are policies made within the US Mint?
I am interested in learning who controls the destiny of the dollar bill which should no longer be printed in favor of a dollar coin exclusive use.
How are policies made within the US Mint?
Since Congress created the United States Mint on April 2, 1792, it has grown tremendously. The United States Mint receives more than $1 billion in annual revenues. As a self-funded agency, the United States Mint turns revenues beyond its operating expenses over to the General Fund of the Treasury.
Mission
The United States Mint applies world-class business practices in
making, selling, and protecting our Nation’s coinage and assets.
— U.S. Mint Strategic Plan
The primary mission of the United States Mint is to produce an adequate volume of circulating coinage for the nation to conduct its trade and commerce. In recent history circulating coin production has varied between 11 billion and 20 billion coins annually. In addition to producing coins, the United States Mint has other responsibilities, including the following:
Distributing U.S. coins to the Federal Reserve banks and branches.
Maintaining physical custody and protection of the Nation's $100 billion of U.S. gold and silver assets.
Producing proof and uncirculated coins, commemorative coins, and medals for sale to the general public.
Manufacturing and selling platinum, gold, and silver bullion coins.
Overseeing of production facilities in Denver, Philadelphia, San Francisco and West Point, as well as the U.S. Bullion Depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
Receiving, redeeming, and processing mutilated coins.
Reply:The US Mint is responsible for printing coins, not bills. The printing of bills is handled by the United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which is under the United States Department of the Treasury. However only Congress has the authority to print money (Article 1, Section 8). So contact your Representatives in Washington D.C. to voice your opinions.

So the short answer to your question is the Federal Reserve.
To show how insidious the FR is...Pres. John F. Kennedy had a Silver certificate printed during his term which was for the government and not for the banking industry. Shortly after his death these certificates were removed from circulation and can

Did the Denver mint make any misprint quarters in 1972 that didn't get the nickle coating?
I have a 1972 quarter denver mint that doesn't have the nickle clad coating.
Did the Denver mint make any misprint quarters in 1972 that didn't get the nickle coating?
Yes a few are known to exist it is an error called missing clad layer. A full missing layer is worth more but even small spot are worth a lot depending on grade.
Here is an example of a 1979 selling for $120.

Reply:Just because I have one doesn't necessarily mean any were stamped how about environmental damage? I found the quarter buried next to concrete. Report It
Reply:It is possible, environmental damage would leave pits and a rough appearance I know concrete is caustic but I would take a good picture of it and either send it to a coin collector. Report It
Reply:ok well if you HAVE one then i guess they did.

How is it that a stick of mint gum (regular, not sugr free) unwrapped on a shelf in the pantry whill help to?
I don't know about that but my mom taught me to put whole bay leaves in the pantry and one inside the bags of sugar, flour, etc. and this seems to work to keep them away.

What is the difference between the mint I get in London and the nanna in Isreal?
No difference in the plant itself, only the quality may be different. We also call mint 'nana' in Serbia, and we can tell the difference between the sweet mint and the wild variety, but in the end it's the same plant.
What is the difference between the mint I get in London and the nanna in Isreal?
nana is spearmint. mediterranean spearmint in particular, although spearmint originated in the mediterranean. if the mint you get in london is spearmint, there's probably no difference at all, but if it's peppermint or some other type of mint, then it's self explanatory.

I am looking for the recipe for an Indian condiment. It's made of mint and parsley, maybe?
The only Indian restaurant in my town has closed, and I don't even know what this condiment is called, so I can't look up a recipe!
It is served cold or room temp., and seems to be just minced up herbs (mint, and maybe parsley?) and a little neutral liquid (water?).
Any help identifying this is much appreciated! Thanks.

You can make a variety of chutneys from an assortment of condiments like mint, cilantro, tamarind pulp, green chillies, mango, garlic, ginger and even fresh grated coconut.
Here are some recipes - including maybe the green one you had!

There is a green chutney (sauce). If you grind up sime mint, parsley, onion, tomatoes, and salt (or sugar, it matters what you want it to taste like) you can make it.

What's the best breath mint for someone w/ severe Halitosis?
I know someone w/ extremely bad breath, and I would like to carry a pack of a great-instantly-working breathmint to offer them when I'm dealing with them.
What's the best breath mint for someone w/ severe Halitosis?
It really doesn't work...at best, the strong odor of the mint is suppose to over-power the bad breath. They just need to keep hearing from a number of people "a variety of comments" (well intended...that indicates they have a severe breath problem).
"...are you feeling OK? ...your breath as an odor that you might have a severe stomach upset?"
"...what did you eat last? ...your breath has an unsual strong odor...I can't identify it! (that might open a discussion to educate/teach what is necessary to resolve it).
If you can find a really "hot looking" person (that they will never see again)...tooooo really make a direct sincere point about it! It might drive the point home.
If it is due to poor dental hygiene/periodontal disease and/or rotten/stale cigarrette breath...they probably won't do what needs to be done... to address the etiology of the whole thing. You will just have to keep your distance.
I have run across a few people over the years that are pretty pathetic "breath-wise". I understand your pain!
Reply:Altoids is a curiously strong mint.
Reply:Orbit, or other really strong gums like that are a Temp fix, but if it's THAT bad their might be some kind of dietary or hygiene problem at the root of it.

Where can I buy authentic mint sauce like is often supplied with poppadums in an indian restaurant or takeawa?
Happy to get authentic recipes if this is made from fresh.
Where can I buy authentic mint sauce like is often supplied with poppadums in an indian restaurant or takeawa?
Firstlly we make the mint sauce.
2 heaped tablespoons of mint leaves
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon hot water
2 tablespoons vinegar,malt is best
Wash and dry the mint leaves, put on to a chopping board with 1 teaspoon sugar ( this helps to chop the mint finely). Chop until fine, then put into a sauceboat. Add the rest of the sugar, stir in the hot water and leave for a few mins to disolve sugar. Add the vinegar.
Or you could cheat and buy the ready made, either way take a pot of natural yoghurt and add the mint to taste. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Happy eating
Reply:Pick some fresh mint, chop it up and add natural yogurt.
Reply:Mint Sauce, Natuaral Yoghurt, finely chopped cucumber may be added and a pinch of Chilli powder or for a more subtle taste smoked paprika. Enjoy
Reply:it is really easy to make, chop frest mint leaves very, very finely and then mix with sugar and a little hot water and then add malt vinegar to taste
Reply:Use natural yogurt mix with mint sauce add milk to thin and sugar to sweeten. I used to work in an Indian takeaway.
Reply:get some decent natural yogart,stir in mint sauce then enyoy!!
Reply:I'll let you into a little secret... The minty yoghurt they use in Indian restaurants is just plain yoghurt with mint sauce in (the same you put on lamb)! Just put a teaspoon into a serving of plain yoghurt and bob's your uncle. You can buy jars or 'riata' from supermarkets, but they never taste as nice as they stuff you make yourself. Try chopping up cucumber into very small pieces and add this, for a cooler flavour.

You can beef this up a bit by adding chunks of cucumber %26amp; slices of onion. Leave to marinade for 10-15 mins before eating. Yum! Can also be used as a pakora sauce. If you choose to grate the cucumber rather than chop it remember to do this onto a plate first %26amp; squeeze the water out otherwise the yoghurt ends up all sloppy.

How would you decorate around mint green walls?
And a white sofa?
How would you decorate around mint green walls?
With beige/brown shades. A touch of black is good here and there. Natural wood is good too. Maybe some yellows. A good way to figure out the colors you would like to try-please go to a paint store and get some of those color cards-that show the different colors and shades of the colors. If you take them home, hold them up to the walls, and maybe even the sofa, you will get a better idea of what colors and shades you would like to decorate the room with.
Hope this helps. Take care.
Reply:ALL of your color ideas were excellent. Thank you again, you deserve it. Report It
Reply:shades of brown would b awsome! U could add some pillows in a print/design ... white or brown frames on the walls. White or brown shelves as well... Lamps... even a rug w/ the green %26amp; browns in it. Even if it's a diff. shade of the green, it should b ok as long as it not ON the wall unless it corrdinates
U could even go blues or black or lavender/purples/plum/wine... but i think the browns would look clean %26amp; hip

With beige/brown shades. A touch of black is good here and there. Natural wood is good too. Maybe some yellows. A good way to figure out the colors you would like to try-please go to a paint store and get some of those color cards-that show the different colors and shades of the colors. If you take them home, hold them up to the walls, and maybe even the sofa, you will get a better idea of what colors and shades you would like to decorate the room with.
Hope this helps. Take care.
Reply:ALL of your color ideas were excellent. Thank you again, you deserve it. Report It
Reply:shades of brown would b awsome! U could add some pillows in a print/design ... white or brown frames on the walls. White or brown shelves as well... Lamps... even a rug w/ the green %26amp; browns in it. Even if it's a diff. shade of the green, it should b ok as long as it not ON the wall unless it corrdinates
U could even go blues or black or lavender/purples/plum/wine... but i think the browns would look clean %26amp; hip
Reply:beige and brown tones also with black accents looks very nice....
Reply:I'd try to pull in some complementary reds or yellows
Reply:Dark green ivy patterns (or even the actual plant)
White lace designs.
White borders on door and window trims.
Sounds refreshing.....you could get some inspiration from either chocolate chip mint ice cream or those party mints that come in green white and pink.
Hmmm... i'm hungry.
Oh and some chrome mirrors...white candles sconces...
Have fun!
Reply:MY daughter has this color on her walls in the kitchen and she went with reds i think it's very nice you could try reds , white and mint green I think that would look awsome.
Reply:and some warm colors like brown beige. Maybe Black, gray some thing like that or paste colors but not a lot

What's an effective way to find older Philadelphia and Denver mint Fifty State Quarters without ordering them?
The keyword here is effective.
What's an effective way to find older Philadelphia and Denver mint Fifty State Quarters without ordering them?
Hi. I'm a coin dealer in the Midwest. To an extent, the quarters are distributed through the banks in a regional fashion...that is, the banks in your area will tend to get coins from one mint over another depending on where you are located. Roughly from the Ohio River and west, you'll tend to find more D (Denver) coins; east of that, it's primarily "P" (Philadelphia) issues. There are a few exceptions occasionally when one mint lags behind in production, etc. but that is the case in general.
The best way for you to find these out of circulation is to go to your local bank and buy rolls of quarters. You may have to try a couple different banks, and rotate around so you don't end up getting your own stuff back. Pick the banks that give you the best coins as the "buy from" banks, and the others as the "cash in" banks.
Hope this helped a bit.
Reply:answerman63 is exactly right.
Take some money and exchange it for quarters at the bank and start searching worse comes to worse you can always just change the quarters back or use them at a store.
Reply:The web being what it is, I'm sure you can find a numismatic web page where collectors will exchange coins for others in return. You can also visit your local numismatic dealer and talk to them about resources to get them. They sometimes have bags full of coins that aren't too valuable yet that you can get at cost or only slightly higher than cost. Just do some research to make sure they are reputable and that the cost is around the true value. I would also try to find a coin collectors blog that can always garner more results. These are effective in that they don't require too much monetary or time investment and should yield pretty fair results.

How can we keep fresh herbs like: Cilantro, Basil, Parsley, Mint in the refrigerator longer?
Hello, we love to cook with fresh herbs all the time, we get them from the local grocer but the herbs only last a couple of days before they turn black and we have to throw them. Does any one has a technique you use to keep them fresh longer in the refrigerator?
How can we keep fresh herbs like: Cilantro, Basil, Parsley, Mint in the refrigerator longer?
I wrap a paper towel around parsley and cilantro and put them in the bottom of the fridge. I think that they turn black and slimy sooner when the leaves are wet (like in a plastic bag) With most other herbs, like basil, I keep a few inches of water in a glass and put them in the top of the fridge (like a bouquet of flowers). If you don't let the water in the glass dry up, it will keep a long time.
Reply:Put them in a glass of h2o-like you would flowers. Herbs are very hearty when they are still growing so why not plant a few in a window pot, instead?!
Reply:i usually dampen a paper towel, roll it over the herbs and put it in a plastic bag in the fridge.
Reply:Basil wont' keep hardly at all. Best to pluck it fresh from a bush. (EASY to grow in a pot)
The other 3 can be stuck in a glass of water and put in the fridge. They still wont' last over a week.
And buy the freshest you can find when you buy fresh herbs. Check the cut ends to be sure they haven't browned. Brown = old.
Reply:Put them in the freezer. When you know you are going to need them, take the desired portion out a couple hours before use, and put them in the refrigerator to thaw.
Reply:You can wrap the cilantro in aluminum foil. I do this and it lasts longer than when it's in a plastic bag.
Reply:well...
if you keep vegetables wrapped in plastic bags, it'll last longer than usual ( a study has been done )
should work for herbs ( in this case, air tight containers )
also, by having a lump of coal in the fridge will eliminate odours from your fridge...
Reply:I actually freeze mine. I love using fresh dill through out the year as the dried is AWFUL. I just put the fresh spriggs in a food processor (or you can chop by hand) and then put in a glass jar with a bit of fruit freeze to keep them fresh. I use a glass jar as I have found they get dry in a freezer bag. Grow your own in summer in a garden or just a few clay pots and enjoy year round!
Reply:I wrap mine in a damp paper towel, and then put them in a plastic baggie.
They last awhile longer.

What's your opinion on this? ..and what is the reason you think so?
I already have an iPod, should I get the mint chocolate phone or a hot pink razor?
Don't get a RAZR, they suck. My friend bought one when they first came out, and a few months later, the buttons starting wearing off and the cover started falling apart. And my friend is the most responsible person I know, but she does tend to use her phone a lot.
Reply:Get the Razr, people will be jealous of your razr, plus the chocolate is hard to use to me.
Reply:my gf has the pink V3 and it all comes down to this: it stinks! The screen will go blank for no apparent reason, the bluetooth won't work any more (she's had it for 6 months) and it does not perform for the price its sold. If you are looking for one of the best cell phones there are, in about the same price range, go for the U6 Pebble, or the Sony Erickson W800 (i own one), which are phones that won't let you down when you most need it. Go to a store and check for yourself, you'll see!
Reply:What's the point? You spent all that money on an iPod, why spend it on an already outdated phone. Wait until iPhone 2.0 comes out (after they fix the bugs of 1.0 %26amp; lower the price) %26amp; you'll be set!

Reply:ooh yes! ths ones all mine! im a proffesional cook and have done alot of playing with chocolate and mint. heres a good thing to do. make a mint chocolate ganache. use 2 oz of butter, 2 oz of heavy whipping cream, about 8 - 12 oz of a good chocolate, and peppermint extract to taste. melt the butter and cream over a double boiler, add the chocolate and stir and melt it down. be patient dont burn your chocoalte. when its all melted down add your mint extract to taste, keep in mind that as something cools its flavor become less intense. i usually us about 3 tablespoons of mint. then let it cool stirring occasionally. now you can either pipe the chocolate out using a round piping tip and pipe straight lines and freeze then break the straws of chocolate into the size you want or you can just freeze the batch and hack away at the frozen ganache breaking it into lil pieces using a cleaver or big chef knife. but after you get your pieces re freeze them. make your cheese cake batter, for the final step add your mint chocolate ganache pieces and bake..... mmmmm or you cant take the ganache and melt it and pour it over the top enrobing your fully baked cheesecake then chilling it for a nice mint chocolate coating to your delicate cheesecake. the possibilities are endless... just have fun.

Reply:ooh yes! ths ones all mine! im a proffesional cook and have done alot of playing with chocolate and mint. heres a good thing to do. make a mint chocolate ganache. use 2 oz of butter, 2 oz of heavy whipping cream, about 8 - 12 oz of a good chocolate, and peppermint extract to taste. melt the butter and cream over a double boiler, add the chocolate and stir and melt it down. be patient dont burn your chocoalte. when its all melted down add your mint extract to taste, keep in mind that as something cools its flavor become less intense. i usually us about 3 tablespoons of mint. then let it cool stirring occasionally. now you can either pipe the chocolate out using a round piping tip and pipe straight lines and freeze then break the straws of chocolate into the size you want or you can just freeze the batch and hack away at the frozen ganache breaking it into lil pieces using a cleaver or big chef knife. but after you get your pieces re freeze them. make your cheese cake batter, for the final step add your mint chocolate ganache pieces and bake..... mmmmm or you cant take the ganache and melt it and pour it over the top enrobing your fully baked cheesecake then chilling it for a nice mint chocolate coating to your delicate cheesecake. the possibilities are endless... just have fun.

Does growing mint arount the foundation of the home repel ants?
Green onions does real good!
Does growing mint arount the foundation of the home repel ants?
Mint leaves are often used by many campers to repel mosquitoes. It is also said that extracts from mint leaves have a particular mosquito killing capability.
Mint oil is also being used as an environmentally friendly insecticide for its ability to kill some common pests like wasps, hornets, ants and cockroaches.
Merely growing the plant around the foundation does not repel ants. It still has to be processed before using it as an incsecticide.
Reply:I'm not sure, but I do know that ants don't like tansy or peppermint.

My pineapple mint has produced beautiful leaves but perhaps two variegated ones only. Why?
I grow it in a pot, full sun. Is it too much sun? I read somewhere that variegated plants react to the amount of direct light but don't remember if variegation became more marked with more sun, or the opposite. Do you know?
My pineapple mint has produced beautiful leaves but perhaps two variegated ones only. Why?
On the plants that I grew, the smaller leaves usually had much more variegation on them that seemed to fade as the leaves matured. The more sun that the plant gets the less variegation you will have. Also if you have other mint close by you can have cross pollination which may cause this also.

Why does my brothers cat like mint?
One of my brothers cats hate the smell of mint. The other goes loopy for it. The effects of the smell are like a drug to him and he drooles, tries to rub against your mouth if you are eating one. I have never seen a cat react like this to the smell of mint and wondered if there is any particular reason for it.
Why does my brothers cat like mint?
Many cats enjoy mint because of certain chemical compounds contained within the plants and may respond to other members of the mint family because of some heretofore unrecognized compounds. Catnip, even though cats go crazy and some even seem drugged around catnip it's not a drug. It's actually an herb that belongs to the mint family. When the leaves are broken it releases a certain chemical that most cats respond to.
All cats respond differently to catnip. Some of them walk away cuz they couldn't care less, but others go ape. The cats that do go crazy are responding to the active ingredient in catnip called Nepetalactone. The reaction to this chemical is caused by the organ that operates a cat's five senses (touch, smell, sight, sound and taste.)
(Nepeta cataria), a member of the mint family, contains citral, geraniol, citronellol, nerol, limonene, and nepetalactone in its essential oil. The nepetalactone is what makes cats loopy -- they can respond to concentrations approaching 1 part per billion. Dittany of Crete and cat thyme, also in the mint family, have a similar effect on cats. There are a number of other plants in different families that cause these behaviors as well, including kiwi vine, alder root fungus, fly honeysuckle, Tartarian honeysuckle, buckbean, baby blue eyes, and garden valerian. Kiwi vine and valerian contain actinidine and dihydroactinidiolide rather than nepetalactone and buckbean contains mitsugashiwalactone, but these affect cats just the same.

Reply:You mean a mint, as in a sweet you eat, I think. In that case, who knows? Cats have definite ideas of their own, and that one has clearly fallen for mints - perhaps it reminds him of catnip, over which a lot of cats go bananas.
Ours has a passion for chips, for some reason, though he doesn't get any 'cos they're bad for him. Doesn't stop him begging frantically though.

Reply:Catnip is in the mint family and contains the chemical nepetalactone. It's likely that other plants in the mint family contain trace amounts of this chemical and that's why the cat's reaction is similar to how a cat would react to catnip.

Reply:These are not same.Methol is powerful but mint is powerless.Mint is good for health but menthol is not.
Reply:Menthol is an organic compound made synthetically or obtained from peppermint or other mint oils. It is a waxy, crystalline substance, clear or white in color, which is solid at room temperature and melts slightly above. The main form of menthol occurring in nature is (-)-menthol, which is assigned the (1R,2S,5R) configuration. Menthol has local anesthetic and counterirritant qualities, and it is widely used to relieve minor throat irritation.

Why is it called an after eight mint?
Silly dinner conversation.
Why is it called an after eight mint?
because after you have eaten eight of them you have had enuff.
Reply:These are generally recognised as the polite companies beer-o-meter, if you are drunk enough to indulge in one of these gas inducing slivers of mint chocolate confectionary, you'll probably be drunk enough to make a pass at either the hostess, your girlfriends best friend or mother and in extreme circumstances your sister... how many drinks is the fulcrum of this test... yup you guessed it after 8....
Reply:maybe dinner finishes at 8 then its mint and coffee
Reply:People used to have dinner earlier in the old days. So dinner was pretty much over by 8 p.m. and then they popped this. Mint for breath and chocolate as an aphrodisiac.
Reply:maybe they made it after eight lol
Reply:designed to be eaten in the evening after a main meal - it's chocolate and mint but also a kind of palette cleanser at the same time... (or so the theory goes...)
Reply:Some guy in marketing thought it was a suitable name
Reply:it was a beheading offence to eat one before that time in the dark ages...well it would have been if they had them then.
