WI Tuesday 9th November

Since this thread started, I've been thinking about other singular use
items in my household. My electric toothbrush stands out in my mind.
Can't think of any other application for it. The only thing I do with
my apple corer is core apples. Don't know what else I'd do with it,
although there might be other uses. There are other items in my house
that have only one use; perhaps a flax seed grinder isn't such an
outrageous idea after all.

$10 for a single use item doesn't exceed my limits. But the $40
electric one does. One could argue that a pepper mill or a salt shaker
is also a single use item. I'll never forget my dismay when I learned
my dad had bought a peanut dispenser for the family room's coffee
table. That was the most outrageous thing I'd ever heard of.

Ohhh, a peanut dispenser. (g)

I guess you are right about a pepper mill or shaker. But I was
thinking of grinding other spices besides the flax. Then of course,
some friends have nutmeg grinders. I don't.

You're on your own when it comes to wondering about phytonutrients. I
just want to sprinkle the dang stuff on my cereal. And I don't want to
drag out an electric appliance to do so, or do any clean up after. If
you ever reach any conclusions about the phytonutrients, be sure to
let us know.

Maybe I will look it up if I remember TOMORROW

Until I get my grinder, I'll keep using my teeth and not worry whether
I'm getting the full nutritional value.

Sounds good.
