on Christmas eve and my dd said mom don't toss it, use it for grinding spices. I don't know why I never thought of that, I bought it and never use it. I bet all of you ladies have been doing that for years. She even chops oregano smaller, so outta mouths of your grown children.


Its so cold here today I don't want to do anything that intails going outside, maybe I can teach baby to use the toilet LOL. Ok I am outta here and go get Vern his breakfast and then go buy some DVD bookcases, darn have to go out for that.  Carol are you freezing up in Auburn?  Good day my friends, hugs

Better clean the grinder well before using spices. I did this and everything came out tasting like coffee beans - LOL. My mini food processor will can grind coffee beans, but they recommend buying an extra bowl for them.

We have a heat wave here - 46. I just brought in the outdoor decorations. DH is changing the worn out wiper blades on both cars, I took mine to the car wash this morning. The heater on his car finally got repaired on Weds, so we are both mobile again. I keep saying we should save $$ and cut back to 1 car, but we like the freedom. Guess we'll wait until one of us can't drive anymore...

Must get to packing away the indoor decorations and figure out what to eat for supper. I'm just sick of cooking....

Oh yes, I also have a coffee grinder---I could have lived without it very nicely.
