I just used my regular little coffee grinder, you know the cheap kind with a blade that whirs around?

I put in enough to cover the blade (about a handfull) and whirred it up. It kinda sticks to the edges, but I just knocked it out without any trouble...then I ran my fingers through it to make sure there wasn't any big lumps, I only got about 2-3 almonds that just would not grind up!

It took a while, and I had to let the grinder rest now and then so it wouldn't overheat....

I have a quisenart like thing...I'll try that today and tell you how it goes...do you have a quisenart?

My Bob's Red Mill Almond flour says 3 net carbs per quarter cup, mine is 2 net carbs per quarter cup, because I use the whole nut, brown skin and all...I can't tell a difference in taste.

Compare that to the flour above! 23 vs 2? Ha!

Nope...just the coffee grinder. Don't even have a blender. I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt eventually to get SOME sort of food processor, but since I rarely use anything like that, I don't think about it until I need one!

But if the coffee grinder works, I can do that. I doubt I'll be needing any large quantities, anyway.
