However, pressures of a job ended my habitual breadmaking, and the mill sat dormant for a while (and it wasn't cheap - about $25; it's a big one). Then I learned to put it to good other uses. It's much more elaborate than using a mortar and pestel to grind spices, but it does work. And for mashing chickpeas for hummus it does a better job than anything else I've ever encountered, including a food processor. I'm sure there are more uses that are just waiting for me to discover. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
