Jealous?

I've had this for awhile now but I keep forgetting to share about my "new toy".
I inherited this wonderful grain mill from Erik's grandparents. It's a wood encased stone mill that can be hooked up to a handle or an outlet and grinds beautiful flour. The latest that it could have been purchased was 1972. I doubt the warranty on the back of the owners manual is still viable but...
Oh how I love it.
Don't get me wrong, I love my kitchen aid grain mill it just can't handle the quantities that I require. I still use it for cracked wheat cereal.
But this...




Well, actually these:
Can turn many cups of grain into many more cups of flour in about 5 minutes.

I really like freshly ground flour.

So glad you have this, Em. I got mine in 1988, I think. I bought it used and it has kept grinding faithfully for all these years. I can't imagine bread making/baking without it!
