Childhood Mortar & Pestle

mortar

My friend C gave me this (my first) adorable mortar & pestle. When she was wee with the wee mortar & pestle, she helped her mom smash up cumin seeds. Now I use it to smash up coriander seeds.

{Thanks C. I feel very special} ;)

hi santos! i like the feeling of the seeds being crushed and stone ones have such a great texture for that. mashing things up in there is fun. :)

yoony that's pretty cool. looks like you can do some serious business with that. you won't find that at surfas or BB&B haha. i need to get a mortar very soon. a lot of southeast asian cooking requires mashed up ingredients (garlic, ginger & chili).

happy friday! eat and drink lots!
