I have the horseradish in a tub to imprison it, even so, it has shown
up in a tub a couple yards away.

Boy that's for sure! You also don't expect to see a guy shooting an elephant on TV. Also strange was that the guy was using an archaic Winchester repeating rifle to kill the beast. The whole scene traumatized the state. The worst thing was that it must have taken a while to kill the elephant. It's a horrible thing to kill an animal by repeatedly shooting it. The job took 86 bullets.

This morning we had some "Spam bacon" and eggs with fried rice. The Spam was cut with a large vegetable peeler and fried crisp.

Thanks. They're a little more expensive than others on U.S. Amazon
and slightly lower in reviews stars, but I'll keep them in mind.
How fast do they crank out pepper - a U.K. teaspoon in 4 or less
seconds?

Easy - they make them cheaper and cheaper every year (or day). Not
like they did 20 and 40 years ago.
 
My 20 year old grinder (and shaker) was $8/set. It was a cheapo at
Target, but refuses to die. It works OK, but I really don't like it
(small capacity, grind adjustment keeps loosening).
 
And now that I have serious nerve pain in my hand/forearm (and now
spreading to the other one), I can finally justify buying a new one
- electric this time. And hopefully get some use out of it before I
amputate these damned things myself and won't be able to cook at
all.

Nah, that's not it (for me at least, maybe for Julie though). These
just suck. The threads on the hopper is also the part that rotates
to grind. It's a shitty design made worse with plastic.

That should be impossible with any competent grinder. The two
mechanisms should never be close enough to touch each other.
Anybody who claims to have been Master Machinist should know that.

Every empty pepper mill that's empty should spin freely without any
friction. Are you really that dumb?

Yes, you most certainly will. There's actually one thing I make
that I insist on using 2+ month-old pre-ground pepper - my salt and
pepper roasted cashews. Because the flavor is THAT different. I
pre-grind a lot at one time and save it just for that purpose
(rather than buying stale pepper).

I gotta agree. The first time I had freshly ground pepper was at a restaurant.
The guy came over with a pepper grinder about the size of a table leg but boy,
what a difference! Convinced me that week to go out and buy a pepper mill
and have never looked back.
 
When I need a quantity of fresh ground black pepper I will put peppercorns in
a coffee grinder reserved just for spices. The aroma when I take the top off
is heady for sure.

Nope. If I'm going to go to all that trouble of making my own I'll either
opt for a Newman's or just head to the pizza joint.

When you've had a Newman' Own then you can come back a lecture us.

all that trouble? it takes all of 5 minutes and if you have an
airfryer it will be heated by that time the cooking takes 7 and you
have a 12 minute pizza vs delivery which takes 30-45 or go to the
store and spend just as much time

You've got 4 other ingredients in there with sourness, and nothing

The Pope put his foot down and forbade the gluten-free wafers a
couple years ago, IIRC. That's probably when our friend here
adopted his Usenet nick.

Well now that is EXACTLY what is key now isn't it... If something
starts off naturally without gluten and gets gluten into it without
having any gluten ingredients then just ask yourself what else could
be in it? Gluten free food is prepped, handled, and packaged with care
so as to not cross contaminate with ANYTHING. Because ANYTHING can be
contaminated with gluten. So gluten free foods will be more natural
and less processed and processed in a more sterile environment. See
the problem we are having between you and I is that you are a
christian or some other kind of theist and you think your fairy will
not allow you to be wrong and will cause you to be more intelligent
because you believe in that fairy.
 
Now I DID NOT start this bullshit but you did. If you wish to be
further put down then please by all means continue with your bullshit.
I promise you I will make you feel just as ignorant and stupid as
every other theist in this entire world actually are.

True, but few people have a personal relationship with the pigs in the
factory. They don't think of that rack of ribs as an animal part, just
food.

Yes, there's something psychopathic about that.

good point on the salt. i was thinking at first that it
was because they worked a lot harder back then and sweated
it out...

Depends on the room size. Ours is a 47" that used to be in the family
room. It is on the opposite wall from the bed on top of a dresser,
comfortable to watch from bed.
