Do you love pepper? You should!

No this is not a commercial. I just wanted to share about this. This is our new Trudeau Elite Gravity Pepper Mill from Amazon. I just love it!!! You can set the grind any where you like it. Then you just tip it over and out it comes. ( it is battery powered)  No pepper on the counter. It had good reviews about it too.
Since I can't eat a lot of things I have learned and acquired a taste for a little more spice in my foods. And since I have learned all the good things about pepper, I really love fresh ground pepper even more!
