Oh please- any kitchen supply store. Kitchen Kapers, Bed-Bath& Beyond, etc., most department stores in the housewares department.
Unless you want to save your wife the trip! But, maybe she won't mind!

Your friendly neighbourhood coke dealer can probably provide you with one.

Now that would put the SMOOTH in smoothie !
But you would have to use the straw for drinking , not snorting.

PDaddy ... try to get one with a little dip (lip, spout?) for pouring liquids. My first one is completely round, and I lose half the dissolved meds pouring it out.

After just wash the mortar and pestle , after every use.

Patsy ... how do you aspirate into the syringe? I crush the meds in the bowl, then add a little water, then when dissolved, I pour the contents into the syringe. From a round bowl, it always dribbles. I figure I lose 10 to 20% of my meds if I'm not really careful.
Of course, I'm doing this lying on my back, trying to hold the tube and the syringe together with my left hand while pouring with my right.
When I got a bowl with a lip, it helped a lot. Please 'splain "aspirate into syringe."  | |

We've found that a small brush, like you'd use for an electric razor gets all the crumbs. We've been pleased...

Beth,
What in the world is that in your avatar? I'm so used to seeing your beautiful, glowing, smiling face! Is that some kind of desert, dried up flower? Help! I can't make it out and need help!
P.S. I blew my monitor up to 200% and now it looks like some kind of wild man in a leotard... or is it Tinkerbell?
PZ

Barry wins again!!
OK, OK, here it is a little bigger. Cheesh. Put down the wine and put your specs on, Kim. (I guess I should have had more Sheena, and less jungle.)
By the way ... which is the mortar and which is the pestle?
Happy Halloween, everbuddy!
