Sometimes you come across a prob that you just have to own, which was the case when I saw this nutmeg grinder. Setting the grinder up vertically was not going to work as the nutmegs were to small which gave me the idea of setting the scene up as a finished job.

The perfect healthy snack.
Roasted Almonds the smell is almost as good as the taste.
Pan roasted with olive oil and salt ( not too much tho).

Capers.. the flinders rose. Capers are excellent with foods across the board from pizza to fish, talking of fish I find the tiny buds almost shell like with everyone being different.
