Thank you Mom

Yesterday I bought a morter and pestle as the second part of my Mom's housewarming/birthday gift to me. It is made of granite and weighs about 15 pounds. As soon as I got it home I ground up some corriander seed, cumin seed, fennel, cardamom pods, cinnamon and spearmint and made a very delicious tea.



The first present arrived about two weeks ago and has been happily residing in the alcove between our bathroom and closet. We think of you every time we sit down to put our shoes on or when we throw stuff on the bench. So thank you Mom!



We also store extra towels inside the bench... and Dragon likes to climb inside every time we open it. So it's fun for the whole family.
