Chocolate Mint Cookie Recipe
This cookie recipe is a great one to prepare for after holiday thank you gifts. The cookies are also good any time of the year as a wonderful treat!
Ingredients
? 3/4 cup butter
? 1 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
? 2 tablespoons water
? 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
? 2 large eggs
? 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
? 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
? 1/2 teaspoon salt
? green mint wafers (or mix peppermint chocolate as directed below)
Directions
In a large saucepan over low heat, cook butter, sugar and water until butter is melted. Add chocolate chips and stir until partially melted. Remove from heat and continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted. Pour into a large mixer bowl and let stand 10 minutes to cool. Mix at high speed and beat in eggs one at a time. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients. Mix until just blended. Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour until dough is easy to handle.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil. Roll teaspoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Bake 12-13 minutes and NO longer. Cookies should come out of the oven looking slightly underdone. They will crisp when cool.
Immediately after taking the cookies out of the oven, place one mint wafer on top of each cookie. Allow mints to soften; then swirl to cover cookie. Peppermint chocolate can be placed on top of cookies instead of wafers. See note below. Sprinkles can be added at this point if desired.

How much is an unopened mint condition copy of "The Death of Superman" worth?
I'd like to know how much comic book shops would sell it for, and how much collector's would buy it for.
How much is an unopened mint condition copy of "The Death of Superman" worth?
From Overstreet Price Guide in near-mint 9.2 or greater it is supposed to be worth $18.00.
Reply:See if there is any like it on ebay
Reply:I'm guessing $40.
Reply:Being as how he came back to life right after, it's pretty much worthless.
Reply:Too many people bought it so it's not rare. Maybe a buck.
Reply:Probably around 3 cents
Reply:Worthless because Superman can't die!
Reply:try ebay

Reply:put it on ebay and you'll find out
Reply:Check the overstreet price guide- probably not a lot, because so many issues were printed.... DC made a big media event out of Superman's death and managed to flood the market.
The value of golden and silver age comics is so high because of their rarity.

What is the best breath mint out there?
i love altoids too! try the sour cherry..you will cry. the sourness is beyond the acidity of a lemon
Reply:tic-tac!!
Reply:ice breakers liquid-ice! and ma darlin up there i also like tictacs!
Reply:If it's just middle of the day, don't-wanna-brush-my-teeth bad breath, then just take any kind of mint.
If it's 'damn i had onions' or 'i just woke up and gotta see my baby' bad breath, then not ONE can work. U need 2 usually, or 3 if u have particularly bad breath.
U need: a) Chewing Gum (the teeth and tongue smell better)+ the liquid u 'swallow' in gum stops the smell frpm 'coming back' when u burp (it does lol)- preferably 'Clorets'
b) 'Listerine', or any other mint that u cant chew, for the on-the-spot breath
Optional: c) Smints.. cus the small tiny bits get a little stuck in your teeth, so keeps the mouth fresh.

Anyone ever use Mvevelopes or mint.com for keeping track of their finances?
If so do they work and how safe is your information, ie. bank account numbers? Are there any others out there that are good to use?
Anyone ever use Mvevelopes or mint.com for keeping track of their finances?
I use Quickbooks, which is software you have to buy, but my banks %26amp; investment brokerages all export info directly into the software at the end of the month so it is really easy to use...however, a columnist on Yahoo Finance, Laura Rowley, is a huge fan of Mvelopes. You could try googling her name %26amp; "Mvelopes"; she talks about the safety of your information when using the service. Also, for any of those budgeting sites, check that you are connected on a secure server no matter what you go with (https:\\ prefix on the url).

Milk, sugar, peppermint essence green colouring cornflour
Boil milk, add sugar, peppermint essence and green colouring and then thicken with the cornflour
Reply:Ugh. You've just rekindled one of my less-pleasant childhood memories.
Why not make a stodgy jam rolly-polly and some wallpaper-paste semolina whilst you're at it? :)
Reply:make a basic custard and dice up some fresh mint, place in a blender for 1 minute and voila mint custard
Reply:There is way to do it by adding a few drops of green food colouring and a few drops of peppermint essence to taste, to a normal custard powder and make it up as normal. This is how I make it when I want some. Tastes just as good as the schools .
Reply:Yuk....what school did you go to?!

I would like to buy a US Mint gold coin. Will it drop in value?
I'm interested in buying the new gold coin from the US mint. I want it as collector. I only plan to buy one (at $800; I can only afford one). However, it is so expensive. I would be pretty sad if the gold fell and the value of the coin dropped significantly. Will the value stay constant (or even go up) because it's a collector's item not just a hunk of metal
I would like to buy a US Mint gold coin. Will it drop in value?
First of all 24 kt gold coins are a relatively new idea. You will probably make out in the long run but it will take many years just to get back your investment unless gold goes crazy in price. On the other hand if vast new gold deposits are found or some country needs hard currency and dumps some of it's gold on the market gold will go down. For some reason people think bullion coins are a collectors item, well it is not, it is an investors item. I would rather put that kind of money into a rare date gold coin or any rare date coin, like a 1916-D dime or a 1909-S VDB cent. I know people will say, that if something happens to the economy you will have gold, well you can't eat the dime, cent or the gold. I must admit the buffalo (bison) gold coin looks nice.
Reply:Trouble with gold is, you have to buy it at retail, and sell it at wholesale. It's a poor investment either way. If you aren't going to do coins as a business, then you should buy what you like to enjoy and don't worry so much what it's value is. It's a hobby. I think the gold coins are intended to be held as bullion, was my impression regarding the marketing.
If some people knew whether gold would go up or go down, they would get rich. I think gold was in the $900 range in the early 1980's, can't remember for sure, and only now is gold recovering to that price. That's a long time to wait. Your stocks would have tripled in that time, if you had some.
Reply:As bullion it will fluctuate, but the price of gold has gone up consistently. As a collector's item it should go up in value also.
Just don't expect a rapid increase in value in either case.
Reply:I also am purchasing one of the new gold coins. Gold has been not only holding value but rising over the years. 24K gold coins from any country will appreciate, especially as there is more turmoil in the world. If you have two boxes, one with regular US currency and the other with gold US coins of equal value, stash them for twenty years. The regular money will be worth less in purchasing power, but the gold coins will have appreciated because they are gold. They will be worth more than you ever paid for them.
