Here's some pictures of M & P's #1 is a good simple

type. #2 I have and #5 I have that set but I have

given one away, I love it.

#5 I also have and it'sd so so. It doesn't crush up

my hard cardamom pods too well but it's it a cool

design?

Now Sissy uses the old rustic type they sell at the

Mexican market and she will never part with it.

I rinse a little fresh lemon juice or vinegar in mine

and I never have a problem with it smelling or leaving

a taste.

 

Will you be coming back to the US anytime soon?

 

Everyone sent good vibes and they reached me. It was

a wonderful day and none of us believed Mom could stay

that long.

The food was mostly vegetarian but there was a platter

of salmon and wings for the non-veg. guests and the

grooms Dad ordered that and it was off to the side.

Yay!

Mya had baked ziti, stuffed mushrooms, bruchetta with

a few delicious veg. toppings, lots various rustic

breads, guacamole, chips, some type of a horseradish

hummus with assorted crackers, mini spinach and feta

turnovers, steamed vegetables and a huge tray of long

stemmed strawberries and other fresh fruit. Bowls of

fresh nuts and trail mix also, and the best huge

packed spring rolls with all types of veggies and even

chives stuffed inside.

 

Hugs back,

Donna
