I have got to know who came up the rule that says that any celebration must have a dish of party mints (or sometimes called after-dinner mints) and mixed nuts. Those two dishes seem to be at any shower, reception, graduation, or wedding I have been to, and noone every seems thrilled to eat either of them. I mean, I see people put a little spoonful on their plate to be nice, but noone is really going,"Ooh, look, party mints. I am sooo glad they have some of those here, because I was really craving some of that." So why are they still there? I guess some traditions are just too hard to break.
