I like spearmint too... unfortunately, so do mice. They aren't crazy 
about cloves, tho... 

BTW, the people who are thinking " Cooked flour paste won't hold 
non-porous surfaces" are the same people who do their dishes every day. 
But this southern bachelor is here to tell you that, if after enjoying 
that midnight bowl of grits you were to leave the non-porous bowl and the 
non-porous spoon sitting, oh I don't know.... say, at the foot of the bed 
all night, then in the morning, you would have a wonderful example of the 
Power of Paste.

Not that I've ever done that.

Seriously, the paste works on the same principle. Just don't soak that 
horn and mahogany tiara box in Lemon Joy, and you're all set. (That was 
not a pun, Mistress Aquilanne!!)
