The other day, I was getting ready to do some spell work. I got out my trusty mortar and pestle, the black marble one I've had for nearly twenty years, and gave it a quick little rinse in the kitchen. And the motherfucker cracked in half!
I knew it had some structural damage and with it being a device for heavy grinding and pounding, it was bound to finally fall apart *someday* but I wasn't expecting it to come apart in my hands right before I actually needed it. You try grinding star anise pods in a half-there mortar and see how much fun that is.
So off I went to the Greatest Witch Shop Ever and picked up this gorgeous granite piece.
Me likey!
How did that even happen? Structural damage or no, how did it crack from a rinse? I can imagine how shocked you must've been! The new piece is great, though!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the loss of your old one; it's always sad when a beloved tool finally breaks. However, the new one is awesome! I got mine from the Salvation Army store; I found a set of three sizes for only 5 bucks, not too bad. They aren't as nice as your new one, though.
