When traveling to the tropical beaches of Thailand, what better souvenir to bring back than a stone mortar and pestle.
For serious.
I have always wanted a mortar and pestle, and after taking a Thai cooking course on Koh Chang, I knew freshly made curry paste would be the delicious secret behind many meals to come. While I look for the last few ingredients I need to make phad thai and panaeng curry, I just had to find other uses for my new toy. So, tonight I made tahini for uber-awesome cumin and coriander hummus.
Happiest camper ever! Any other suggestions for mortar and pestle creations?

Yay...I love mortar & pestles. They are like part of my childhood (crazy as it sounds)...it used to be the thing my brother and I would help mom with - or would just randomly find coriander and cloves or something else to grind with the m&p. When we were little we had a wood one...I can't ever find one here. But I love the marble/stone ones. Yours looks super cool!
