Window Shopping
No recipes for today, no food stories, only stuff I found while working lately.
Before I begin, I’d like you all to meet one of my food-blogging gurus: Chubby Hubby. Now you know one of the people who I got my inspiration from.
Now, let’s shop.
I found some cool stuff on the net. Here, check ‘em out:
Thai (granite) mortar & pestle 8″
When I was a kid, we had a nanny who was like a mother to us (we called her Bibik). She’s old, but very strong. She loved us (me and my 6 siblings) the way she loved her own children. We loved her dearly ’till the day she passed away (only a few months after my Mom passed away). We still do.
We used to have this stone mortar and pestle in our kitchen. My Mom and Bibik used this mortar to grind nuts, rice, anything. I
used to watch them pounding the pestle to the mortar and observed how the granules turned into powder. Sometimes they let me try one stroke or two, then I would give up to the weight of the pestle.
Seeing this mortar on the net reminded me of them, of my lovely childhood with them in there. This is a tribute to the 2 most amazing women in my life, my Mom and Bibik. God bless you both.
