Things I Covet: Spice Grinder
10Sep2009 Filed under: Things I Covet Author: twobarefeet
I have yet to get to the point where I am buying spices in bulk (because they last longer) and grinding them as I need them (because they taste more fresh). I *really* want to. I like that you can just use a coffee grinder for your spices (although you never want to use the same grinder for both) and I *really* like that they are inexpensive (read: $20).
Do you grind your spices at home or buy them already ground?

About this blog
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.

I’ve been seriously considering one over the past few months, even if it’s just for grinding peppercorns. I’m starting to really enjoy cooking with fresh ground pepper, but I’m sick of using my PamperedChef manual grinder. It’s difficult to catch the ground pieces in a teaspoon when trying to measure accurately.
The grinder would really save me some time.
