"This is a 6 incher, which I think is the right size for just about any job."

....and grinds just about anything

;)

Need 3 grinders. One for spices, one for coffee, and one for......making gun powder. I'm an odd fellow.

Was just at the spice shop the other day! (Altons actually behind the counter) Every one of the jars on the shelf (when he entered) is one ounce. They sell by the ounce and it's actually quite a bit cheaper. They sell herbs there too and down stairs they sell tea. The stairs are just to the left of the man who said 'can i help you?'. And no, i've never seen him but the people there are VERY chatty. Plan on being there at least a 1/2 longer then you think, haha.

@santoslittlehelper06 Etymologically, vanilla derives from the Spanish word "vainilla", little pod.

I actually just bought a mortar and pestle, it's green marble and there is a good bit of texture in it that it doesn't take that long to grind herbs and spices, 10 minutes for a couple of tablespoons! I guess it just depends on where you buy it from and who made it!
