Best pepper mill i've ever used is a small hand coffee grinder with a
little box at the bottom to catch the pepper. Its not used for coffee
and never has been. I grind enough to last about a week at a time and
keep it in a jar.

Some time ago my sister (a former pro chef) gave me a full set of
Cuisipro measuring spoons. They are really nicely made, the lettering
is etched large and deeply so they're easy to read, they sit flat on a
counter for pouring liquid into, and they are well matched and
attractive. They really deserved a nice storage solution.

I like to make lots of soups and stews in the winter, and have learned
to use a combination of black, white and red peppers as it's much more
effective than just ground black pepper. The red pepper I use most is
hot paprika which comes from Eastern Europe in distinctive red cans
already ground, but the black and white peppercorns come from Vietnam
in jars which I buy at Asian supermarkets locally, and these have to
be ground. I suffered decades of misery with inferior pepper grinders
before I finally discovered William Bounds pepper mills. They all have
the same movement, no touching parts so they don't wear out, and they
work perfectly. They are adjustable to 3 different coarseness grades.
I've had one in light wood for years, but I've longed for the same
model but in walnut so I can put the black pepper in the dark one and
the white pepper in the light one.

Anyway, Santa was good to the Erwins:

The pegs on the spoon rack were TIG welded in, and the rack has a
light brush finish. It's 10 ga. stainless sheet metal, and it will
eventually be wall-mounted but it works just great as depicted.
