Unlike you, I have other things to do with my life than read rfc. I
posted when I saw it. Don't tell me I have to go and take a picture
of the pepper mill you recommended to prove to you I have one. You
know I have a lot of photos of things that I have cooked, baked,
grown. I have more imagination than to cook 2 dozen eggs and 20
pounds of potatoes in a fry pan to make dinner for 2 days.
