i had this recently w/ a s&p shaker, i was seasoning i think noodles and the electric grinder just fell apart over my wok, it didn't come loose, it just broke. i toasted off the peppercorns and later used it for my brisket that week, so not horrible like having a random glass jar explode, but i'm with your wife on this one, random microscoping glass slivers, naw

Yeah, at least I didn't have all the vegetables prepped on the cutting board as well. It's fine though, she's at the store right now picking up chicken thighs that we're going to use instead tonight.

I'm just still mad about losing all that five spice. She paid like two or three dollars for just a ton of it that was vacuum packed from the bulk spice section of HEB because nobody buys it because they don't use it or what to use it for. We both really like the flavors especially anytime I do Oriental. I especially like it for doing baby back ribs following a method from a bar and grill joint we used to go to back in Charleston.

Random bad egg. I went out and punched all the chickens and there hasn't been another one since.

When I was a kid my mom sold eggs. My brother and I discovered that a hen had stashed some eggs in an outbuilding and was sitting on them. We let her keep them but then came back a couple of days later and she was gone so we, being stupid little kids, just gathered up the eggs and put them in the bucket with the rest. Fast forward a couple of days to multiple egg customers calling to ask why they cracked their eggs and a slimy little dead chick came out.

I don't really think they do, otherwise HEB wouldn't have had a big thing of it on the discount shelf. It has its uses though.

Adams seasoning brand has a Chipotle five spice that I've got on clearance a few times and it's a great blend. You just have to watch how much you use because it's surprisingly spicy. I normally use a combination of it and regular to tone it down some.

I use star anise for my curries. Namely chicken or beef curry. (It should be goat but its hard to find around here) You can buy a big ass bag full of the curry spices, whole, for pennies in a Indian store. You can also grind it all up and make your own garam masala powder. But what really sets off the flavor of the curry is dry fenugreek leaves.
