Janice, I'm so glad you have come to me with this problem, even if you didn't. Because I have two pepper grinders and I often spend hours wondering which of them I should use. I pick one up and then I put it down. And then I pick the other one up, and then I put it down. It's so hard to decide these things that sometimes I use both-and other times, I wind up using neither! <ggg>
One grinds by hand, and is very natural and environmentally friendly, which makes me feel very good and productive, but the other has batteries and a little light, which can double as a flashlight during those clandestine midnight snacks. So you can see the dilemma!!!<ggg>
My favorite is the hand grinder, although once I was grinding up those little peppercorns (why do they call them corns? Do they come from little cobs, do you think?) and a spider crawled into the top. Oh well, I though. He'll come out the bottom and I can get him then. But do you know he never did! Why, he must still be in there! <ggg>
I sure hope I've helped you with your problem. Maybe someone can help me with mine. Today when I opened a can of cat food, which I noted is made of sawdust and liver, which explains why Blue gets so excited when Dan chops wood, and the can opener only opened 15/16 of the can. I didn't know what to do! THe can opener is dying!!!! I tried to open all the cans in the pantry and sure enough. It only opened 15/16 of each one.
We are having canned peaches, beef broth, tuna, olives, and baked beans for dinner.
Now I think I will have to buy another can opener. Everyone was so surprised when I told them!!! They had no idea!!! But now I have to decide what kind!!!! Do I get one with a knife sharpener?
I would write you a poem, but I'm worn out from all this stress and besides, I'm imagining you falling into a very large pepper grinder.
I really treasure you so. |
