Just a thread to deposit odds and ends like a catch all draw.
(pssssst if you haven't figured it out yet I can be very odd)

I love my grinders!!

grinders_013111_P1070540.JPG

Back row of large grinders left to right:

Peppercorn blend grinder (telecherry, Malabar, white, green & pink peppercorns)

Sea salt grinder (white and Himalayan Pink)

My herb and spice blend (Peppercorn blend, Sea salt (Large crystals), Garlic (Dry Minced ), Onion (Dry Flakes), Thyme (Dry Leaves), Rosemary (Dry Leaves), Red pepper flakes. I mix it up in a ball jar and then use to refill my grinder

Red pepper flakes grinder

Small grinders in front row left to right:

Morton's Roasted garlic salt

Trader joe's Everyday seasoning (sea salt, whole mustard seeds, whole coriander, black peppercorns, onion, garlic, paprika, chilli pepper)

Dry oregano

Recycle and reuse!! I toast black and white sesame seeds and keep them in an empty sesame seed shaker bottle on the table ready to be used on my salads.

Nice grinders Peeps!
Especially like the recycled McCormick sesame seed container!
I don't own a lot of knives or whisks, but I'll enjoy looking at what you and others have.

I see something I must get for DW...

The rubber coated whisks...... She uses the wire ones on the non stick pans.
She says," I'm not rubbing the bottom with it!"...Duhhhh! Yeah! Right "T"!"

Ok so I picked up a whole boneless pork loin (natural - NOT marinated or flavored in any way) on sale @$1.49/lb total weight 9.78 lb total cost $14.57. I broke it down into 10 meals (4 servings each). I didn't weigh each package but I got -
1 package of cubes
1 package of 4 chops w/pocket for stuffing
8 packages of 4 chops each (thin chops)

It roughly breaks down to .36 a serving for boneless pork loin. Add starch, veggie and/or salad and we are talking about $2.00 a meal (per person/serving). I think thats a pretty good deal.

I'm definitely not as gadgety as others here, but do have several different pepper grinders - one for regular black Telicherry peppercorns, one for white peppercorns, & I just purchased one to use with Szechuan peppercorns. Although Szechuan peppercorns are frequently added whole to many recipes, sometimes a grind or two can add just the right "twist" to a Szechuan stirfry (even if it isn't in the original list of ingredients). Oh, & I also have a sea-salt grinder.
