Is it true that rodents do not like the smell of mint?

I have heard that mint scented trash bags are a good way to repel rodents.








S.T.

Is it true that rodents do not like the smell of mint?
Depends on how hungry they are. If they're starving, nothing will deter them. Best defense, a scattergun.
Reply:Heard that about cats but not rodents. You are better off with steel wool and moth crystals. Stuff the steel wool in any holes and openings the rodent can squeeze through and sprinkle the crystals around floor boards. Good Luck!


How many State Quarters from each mint?

The US Mint's web site tells how many of each state quarter they produced. But is there somewhere else where I can find out how many at each mint (Denver and Philadelphia)?





For example the Delaware quarter: X# minted in Denver, Y# minted in Philadelphia. And so on, for each state.

How many State Quarters from each mint?
You're on the right track. The US mint does keep these mintages on their website. Click various years for production numbers.
Reply:There is one web site for the U.S. mints. There are actually 4 at this point. Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco %26amp; west point. The site should give you the state quarter mintages of the circulation strikes from Philly and Denver, the proof mintage from San Francisco both in clad and silver and the number of mint sets for since 2005 the mint sets have a satin finish so the state qurters in them have that finish also. The 1999-P Delaware quarter had a mintage of 373,400,000, 1999-D 401,424,000, 1999-S clad 3,713,359 %26amp; the 1999-S silver 804,565. The satin finish coins did not start to the 2005 ones and only in mint sets.


Appetizers to serve with Mint Bailey's Chocolate Martini?

I am hosting a games night on the weekend, and recently came across the recipe for Mint Bailey's Chocolate Martinis (Vodka, Baileys, white chocolate liqueur, chocolate syrup).





I want to start the evening with these, and I am sure some people will stick to them all night. I am a bit puzzled as to what appetizers to serve that will compliment these drinks; any ideas?

Appetizers to serve with Mint Bailey's Chocolate Martini?
Pieces of pound cake


Cheesecake bites


Butter cookes





The drinks are sweet and chocolately so anything that would go good with chocolate and mint
Reply:Well, it is the season for girlscout cookies...and the "thinmints" would definatly compliment your cocktail, plus you would be supporting your community :) You can usually find girlscouts selling boxes in front of grocery stores or your city's courthouse.
Reply:I'm thinking that, unless you want everyone to be in a drunken diabetic coma, you might want to save this delightful drink to serve at the dessert portion of your games night. Perhaps, create a more traditional martini, old-fashioned, etc. to serve during the bulk of the appetizer eating. :) Here are some ideas for food:





1. Spinach dip with crackers and baguette slices


2. Lil smokies in puff pastry: using Pillsbury crescent roll dough, separate each section and cut into 4ths. Wrap around lil smokies and place on baking dish. Bake until golden brown and serve with bbq sauce.


3. Meatballs in a marinara sauce in a sourdough bread bowl. Serve with parmesan and extra sauce.


4. Chicken and green chili quesadillas, cut into wedges.
Reply:do a few different kinds of mini desserts. Chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate covered pretzel rods, mini cheesecake cups, mini cupcakes. YUM! :)
Reply:I would say something salty since they will be sweet. Homemade trail mix or air popped corn with different spices for flavoring for something easy. Crispy, cheesy wontons would be good. An onion tart would be another good idea.





I would also suggest having other drink options... Personally, I could only drink one martini that is that sweet.
Reply:definetly something sweet, some kind of pound cake or tort?
Reply:thin wafer butter cookies, fresh strawberries %26amp; other fruits, angel food cake, etc..
Reply:That sounds more like a dessert drink. I don't think anyone would want too many, they sound filling.

A store like Target or CVS should have them. Even try the market. I remember buying mine from there. If you cannot find them, kindly ask an employee at the restaurant where they got them and they will receive the answer from their manager. Good luck!
Reply:You can buy them at stores that sell kitchen ware and pots and pans, also, you might try Linens %26amp; Things., they have a lot of different items like mint toothpicks.

I need a whitening toothpaste, but it can't be mint flavored. Does anyone know of a kind?

Is there a good whitening toothpaste that isn't mint flavored?
Tom's of Maine has a whitening toothpaste that is Cinnamon-Clove or Orange-Mango. It is the Whole Care line. It not only whitens but prevents cavities and tarter build up.


It's a natural toothpaste that works, I love it!!!

Reply:Without mint few pest one of Babul and Dabar pest is also without mint
Reply:I drink coffee and it has yellowed my teeth. I was told to take a tablespoon or so of hydrogen peroxide and swish it through your teeth for a few minutes and it will whiten your teeth and correct gum disease. I did it and it works. I do this after my morning coffee!

How do I go about buying case lots of rolled coins issued from the us mint?

The us mint neither rolls nor sells coins by the case so who would I contact to purchase them, besides the ones found on Ebay ?

How do I go about buying case lots of rolled coins issued from the us mint?
have you tried any banks?
Reply:Try the Federal Reserve Bank in your area. The mint dose sell coins with special wrappers, but only certain ones. You need to check their web site, for what is available at this time. I know boxes of the westward nickels were available, for I have seen them. You can also try your bank, for they may order them from the Federal Reserve Bank for you. Some banks are better than others in this aspect.
