mortar and pestle question, grinding up flax, etc.

[Guest guest]

You bet, I have to own one. JOw growing up with a

GRabn from Sweden it was always on her sink and I used

to grind the cardamom for her, I loved to use it. My

Grandpa owned a pet shop and he mostly treated the

neighborhood customers sick birds, he would use a M &

P in the pet shop and I don't know what he would grind

up but he made the birds recover and I used to do the

grinding for him.

My Mother always used one. Sissy (sister in the

group) uses her all the time to grind up chiles and

mash up garlic, makes chilie pastes and other super

hot things.

I use my for lavender, sesame seeds, cardamon and a

few other things.

Now the flax seeds I toss in the blander and make flax

meal to toss into my baked goods, I do a large amount

and at a time and keep the flax meal in the freezer,

By the way don't store your flax at room temp.

Well I’m not the world’s most physical guy

But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine

Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well I’m not dumb but I can’t understand

Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night.
