I may have misspoken - I seemed to have dumped all my pepper grinders in the last purge. I may have to buy another grinder - oh no!

The truth is that I like a little fresh ground pepper on scrambled eggs. It only takes a few grinds. What I'm not going to do is grind pepper into a whole pot of stew or for times when I need a good amount of black pepper. That's just ridiculous.
