Well, I went and got myself a Grindmaster cheapo at the stupormarket, and
it works GREAT. 'Course, I was a complete dunderhead the first time I
used it. Put a mix of crushed red savinas, anaheims, and arbols in the bowl
to make powder and whirled away (on the kitchen counter.) No problem, no
leakage...then I took off the lid and WHAM! Wife and I start sneezing and
choking, etc. What a dumbass! <g>
I took the grinder into the pantry in front of the exhaust fan where I
make my horseradish, and "decanted" it into a shaker bottle in there.
Learnt my lesson the hard way, as usual. <laughing> Reminded me of when
some friends and I decided to taste his capsaicin self-defense spray and
cleared out my kitchen. :-)
