Sometimes the simplist thing can make something easier.  This is my tip for the day.  Most recipes ask for salt, pepper or salt and pepper.  So when you are adding salt and pepper why not add them together.  The white grinder is salt.  The black grinder is pepper and the gray grinder is both.  I put equal parts salt and pepper in a plastic baggy, shake it up, cut off a corner and fill the gray grinder.  When I thought about doing this, I could not find a gray grinder similar to the other two I had, so I bought a gray wood one and spray painted it.  I have to admit I do love spray paint.  Anything to simplify life.
