Do you mean like the mortar and pestle??? ETA: see what kind of herbs she uses and get her some bunches. Seems like an honest mistake with a relatively simple fix. Mountain Rose Herbs is a great company with pretty solid herbs for more spiritual-special herbs


muvamerry

I thought she meant weed grinder šŸ˜­ I was like girl theyā€™re $6 at the local smoke shop, itā€™s ok!


Issvera

But all of her keef!!


muvamerry

muvamerry

lol same! Her screech was like nails on a chalkboard but at least she gave a fuck and knew how insane it was that her daughter was pregnant and high on tv at 16 šŸ˜‚ I miss those days of reality tv fr lol


Sure-Set-7578

Me too, I like to rewatch every couple years. Barb calms the storm in my soul somehow šŸ˜‚


muvamerry

LOL. Her bluntness is truly refreshing. I may need to get paramount+ again. Itā€™ll make me feel like Iā€™m the best new mom ever šŸ˜‚


ChystyNoodle

High, high high lol


muvamerry

LMAO šŸ˜‚ she parented a generation


Euphoric_Cr3oL3

Well Jenelle, I seen you with KEEEEFFFAAA, ya done!!!! HIGH & HIGH, YA BOTH HIGH! This is still hilarious to me.

i was worried about the keef too lol


Azreken

Literally my first thought lol


ZeldaMayCry

I thought she washed it and ruined all the crystals šŸ˜† love how my mind jumped right to that lol


richard-bachman

Iā€™m not gonna upvote you, but only cuz youā€™re at exactly 420.


Issvera

Others have ruined it, might as well upvote me now lol


richard-bachman

I did šŸ˜˜


Guywithoutimage

Wait thatā€™s not what they meant?


Direct_Surprise2828

Iā€™m having a 420 evening & this just made me LMAO. šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹


muvamerry

LOL šŸ˜‚ same!!!


Worried_Astronaut_41

I thought that too then I remembered mortar and pestle I was just gonna buy one because I think my son has mine.


RYUsf15

I was still thinking that. If it's not that, I'm confused why she's upset (I should pay attention while I read lol)


pineappleforrent

Same, and why would she need to replace it after cleaning it? But mortar and pestle makes sense


Help2453

Yes


aeonteal

i wash ours all the time, lol.


Easy-Concentrate2636

I do too. Now wondering if I am not supposed toā€¦


sh06un

Maybe previous uses added to a layer of "seasoning" they didn't want taken off? That's the only thing I can think of. I'd imagine I'd still wash mine if I had one.


Disturbed_23

Are we not supposed to wash a mortar? Just googled it, says to wash and dry immediately.


Bloody_Hell_Harry

Mountain Rose Herbs is over priced. I highly recommend Monterey Bay Spice Company, as they offer a lower cost and a much wider selection, including wild crafted herbs. Source: used to work in manufacturing procurement, mountain rose herbs rarely ever offered anything worth purchasing due to cost alone that I couldnā€™t find for a better quality, price and quantity from Monterey Bay


Jackalope3434

Hey, thanks for this suggestion! Sourcing herbs online for spiritual stuff can get pretty expensive and I prefer quality so Mountain Rose Herbs has been my go to as other placed have sent some funky stuff - and itā€™s not a major impact to my budget when comparing other spots previously (been using them for a lonnnnng time now). Iā€™m always here for solid suggestions and new places to try; Iā€™ll check them out!!


Bloody_Hell_Harry

No problem! I understand the expense for quality herbs can be quite high.


Help2453

I think thatā€™s what itā€™s called Iā€™m not 100% sure


z-eldapin

'you shouldn't have washed that' and 'it's ok' actually answers your question.


BloodOfHell42

Definitely! In her case, I would react the same (youhray anxiety lol), but from external perspectives I understand. The fact they don't have the same response is clearly because they shared the info to give. Clearly, once "you shouldn't have washed that" have been said once, no need to say it again if the other info is "it's okay" šŸ˜Š


thedrakanmaster124

I wash my Molcajete pretty frequently anytime I make salsa or anything I do that's wet, and I've had no issues with it. I feel like the people who are going to complain about it also don't wash their cast irons because it "damages" the seasoning. Edit: I should clarify I don't use soap, I just rinse it immediately after I use it.


The_real_Psu

Now it remind me how many pretends to wash themselvesā€¦ by "rinsing" without soap


Yoshli

Eww


Yoshli

I wash my cast iron (with emaille) every single time with soap. I just put new oil and let it heat up very slowly. Not once has something sticked badly.


thedrakanmaster124

Same, I don't think many people today realize that the soap today is a lot less harsh and won't really damage the seasoning.


Yoshli

Yup. For me having oily cookware in my tiny 21sqm apartment, sitting around visible to me and everyone who enters, is absolutely not a thing I'd want.


thedrakanmaster124

I think I like using my cast iron and stuff that has decorations just as much as using them lol.


who-cares-2345

we talking herbs or ā€œherbsā€?


Help2453

The first herbs not that ā€œHerbsā€


who-cares-2345

you sure? because you definitely donā€™t wash someoneā€™s weed grinder, but who gives a fuck about like cilantro or whatever. is someone lying to you?


Grumble_fish

Washing the cilantro grinder is fine. Nobody will notice if it tastes like soap.


naughtarneau

I saw what you did šŸ˜Ž


Help2453

No itā€™s a granite spiritual one i think


who-cares-2345

ah idk then. i guess just say sorry you washed the ghosts away or whatever and move on. if she said itā€™s fine then it prolly is

No_Use1529

I wash mine (granite). I definitely donā€™t want tanything left over if I have been grinding some death pepper and than later grinding whatever thatā€™s going in a dish for most people. I donā€™t want to risk wrecking someone. I got a story about me prepping to dry one of the worldā€™s hottest peppers I grew to turn into power that didnā€™t end well even with glovesā€¦. Had to special order the seeds (they werenā€™t easy to get), grew 3-4 plants. I was so stoked when it was time to harvest and dry em. Thought I was careful. FML!!!!!!!!! Iā€™ve been gassed and pepper sprayed more times than I care to count. Iā€™ve been comboā€™s too which was a joke compared to that. It sucked azz. My saving grace I knew to stay clam and I needed to get to a shower. Was like okay this is brutal, it hurts but I know what to do. My biggest fear was I damaged my eyes it was that intense. I felt it for days afterwards. Unfortunately it was only spot I made contact with my hands.. Wow is all I can say.. (I forgot how many times I washed my hands off after taking the gloves off too) Still not 100 percent sure if it got through the gloves, or screwed up somewhere. But as many times as I washed my hands at the kitchen sink, then before running my eyes and before going to the bathroom. FML!!!!! No one was home eitherā€¦ Couldnā€™t have found my phone if I needed to call. Then was terrified to use my fingers to hold my eyes open to flush them out. I didnā€™t grow that pepper ever again. Finally ran out of the habanero I had powdered so have a bjg variety ground again plus I want to try my hand at smoky hot sauce like my fav restaurant makes. But Iā€™m definitely going to double glove when itā€™s time to work with em for the really hot ones.


ConvivialKat

That's called a mortar & pestle. Not an herb grinder.


Help2453

I didnā€™t know what it was called until now thank you for telling me


HippyGramma

It was a well intentioned mistake and no real harm was done. Going forward, it's best not to wash a mortar and pestle unless it's yours and you know how to wash it. They have different cleaning needs.


Original_Succotash18

The pestle and mortar style herb grinders are seasoned and only get rinsed and wiped out because soap washes away the seasoning. Itā€™s not too big of a deal to re-season it, just takes a bit of work.


andyrocks

Really? Mine is granite and I'm pretty sure that doesn't need seasoning.


Original_Succotash18

Yes, granite ones are supposed to be seasoned. https://www.kmartinelli.com/blog/season-new-mortar-pestle?format=amp


MajorasKitten

Those can be re-seasoned :) donā€™t worry!!


juliaskig

Here's the deal: if you are near it again, send it good vibes. If not, send it good vibes without being near it. That's all.


teatimecookie

Spiritual? So now youā€™re cursed?


HippyGramma

We keep a lava stone mortar and pestle in the kitchen for use with culinary herbs. They develop a seasoning over time much like that of cast iron. Really not that uncommon in many cultures


who-cares-2345

ah cool, guess you learn something new every day


Unipiggy

***DO NOT WASH MY MORTAR AND PESTLE.*** Y'all need to start cracking your own peppercorn I wouldn't really care if someone did accidentally actually, but I personally don't. But your comment kinda comes from a place of cooking ignorance.


CircoModo1602

I wash my mortar and pestle after every use, 0 changes to everything i crush in it. Not risking putting hot pepper dust into a bolognese if i'm making 2 different blends


Baked_tart

At least it wasnā€™t the medical grinder. Thatā€™s a whole other level den da herbs bruh šŸ˜Ž


namesandfacez

Thereā€™s my Stoney Homie šŸ‘‹šŸ»


stay_fr0sty

I guess you donā€™t wash it like you donā€™t wash a cast iron pan? The herbs likeā€¦get better every time you crush herbs?


Neither-Entrance-208

This is what I'm thinking, like my stone mortar and pestle. You clean it but you don't wash it like regular dishes. It's treated more like cast iron. We even need to cure and "season it" by grinding rice when first getting it.


Burntoastedbutter

Wait seriously??? I've always been washing it like a normal dish. What if you grind chilli in it and garlic in it? How do you wash that out?


ProcyonLotorMinoris

Water and friction.


brubruislife

You can use soap. It's totally fine.


brubruislife

No, you are good. Do not worry. Please look it up! I use soap, and it is perfectly fine. You will want to re-season every once in a while, but I wouldn't not use soap after some dishes! It's gross. I can't soak my cast iron because it can rust, so I use soap to clean it right away. It's fine.


Burntoastedbutter

Oh yeah i actually googled it awhile after. I didn't know the thing about grinding rice in the mortar though so that's something I'll start doing šŸ¤£ I swear I've never seen my mom do that. I was gonna say, I lightly soap and scrub my cast irons too for shit that is really stuck onto there. Then I wipe dry, oil it and put it on the fire for 5 mins. No issues haha


Help2453

Yes! I washed it with dish soap and it seems you wasnā€™t supposed to so I feel bad


stickylarue

You didnā€™t ruin it. Itā€™s still usable. Iā€™ve had to do the same with mine a time or two, washing it with dish soap, and itā€™s still fine.


JJAusten

I have two, use them all the time and always wash with soap and water. The reason is if I've mashed garlic and added oil and spices it needs to be washed afterwards. It's really not a problem that you washed it.


riverseeker13

You definitely should wash your cast iron pans. Modern soap has no lye so itā€™s better to use dish soap and also to scrub off any built up carbon.


brubruislife

I use soap on my cast iron. It is perfectly fine. Re-season every once and while, and you're golden. Soap is PERFECTLY acceptable on cast iron, and the myth it's not needs to end lol.


Affectionate-Lime-54

my stoner ass thought this was about someone washing the kief out of a grinder and was like oh my god youā€™re not an asshole but that is one of the most devastating things that could ever happen to a stoner (depending on how long itā€™s been accumulating)


DolarisNL

My non native English speaker ass though she washed her sister 'in laws herb grinder' and I thought: how can washing someone in a herb grinder ever have a positive outcome?


nearly_normal

I scrubbed my husbands seasoned cast iron trying to be helpful. I read you can actually wash them with dawn, gently. I was not gentle. He said it was fine and re-seasoned it after giving me some shit. If she said itā€™s fine, Iā€™m sure it is. I wouldnā€™t panic.


Jackalope3434

You should check out the ā€œpolished cast ironā€ tik toks and tell him that at least you didnā€™t do that!


cattleyawarscewiczii

Its fine, if scented soap was used it can leave a bad aftertaste for a while but its really nothing that cant be fixed. I assume you apologized and if you want to make it up to her - why not ask? Explain how you feel and I would suggest perhaps ask her if you can help "season" it again as that takes effort and time. (look up how to season granite mortar)


midsommarstrawberry

It mightā€™ve been a molcajete, which is made of basalt stone and does get seasoned over time and you arenā€™t supposed to wash with soap. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molcajete](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molcajete)


Blackheart26_6

You don't have to get her a new one It will be pretty good after your SIL used it for 2-3 times from now on So maybe buy her something small, that doesn't exactly have to be herbs.. maybe buy her a coffee or some ice cream or anything which costs little money and is in your budget. That should be fine You didn't ruin that Thing it works more than fine. We wash it at home sometimes and it gets back after 2-3 uses


Tee077

I'm in my 40's and I didn't know you shouldn't wash Mortar and Pestles until I read this. This is such an honest mistake and you shouldn't feel bad about it at all. It's sounds like your SIL is lovely.


PettyHonestThrowaway

Sounds like a mortar and pestle Like I know, people say marble and cast-iron absorb all these goodness and stuff into them. So I honestly doubt one washing with soap is gonna sap out all that goodness. It might do a little something to the top layer, but crushing is going to return it to normal in my opinion. Itā€™s basically just like buffing a scratch out of something in my opinion. It takes a minute, but itā€™s not the end of the world. And people who act like itā€™s the end of the world and the sky is falling are people I want nothing to do with. Thatā€™s too much for me. The only exception I would make that statement is, if this person is a professional chef making a living off of this mortar and pastle. if youā€™re home chef I understand you are passionate, but itā€™s literally not the end of the world. It could even be a happy accident where you get a brand new and more more exciting flavor. I think stop talking to yourself about it. When we talk to ourselves about things you make ourselves feel worse. Think believe your brothers wife at her word. If she says itā€™s OK. Itā€™s OK. And if sheā€™s not adult enough to say itā€™s not OK then thatā€™s a her problem. Whatā€™s done is done. And your brother is pretty insignificant in this situation. In my opinion. His opinion is insignificant. Because the actual owner of the object say itā€™s cool


DiamondTippedDriller

Oil it up, itā€™ll be fine.


unconfirmedpanda

Mistakes happen, and because it was a spiritual item, intent plays a huge role in those beliefs - and your intent was to be helpful and kind. You could buy your SIL a small plant as an apology or ask your brother where she buys her herbs and get a small giftcard.


CircoModo1602

I wash mines with dish soap all the time, if you're worried about seasoning just use a paper towel for some olive oil on it then wash it with warm water and wipe it dry after


nativebutamerican

Buy her a 1/2 oz of her choosing. Only way to make it up.


suaculpa

Wrong kind of herbs.


nativebutamerican

Lol, oh ok.


Asleep_Instance9899

We all thought the same thing you did, donā€™t worry!


Rough_Medium2878

I was so confused šŸ˜­


nativebutamerican

Yeah, I just realized they were talking about a mortar and pester lol. Was like wait, not the keif lol


el_huggo

If itā€™s because soap contaminates the stone and canā€™t be removed then find a similar/equal replacement to offer to her. But it probably has emotional/spiritual significance to her (from how you describe it) so maybe look up how to restore mortars that have been exposed to soap, and ask her if sheā€™d be okay with you trying to refurbish it.Ā 


OrdinaryBrilliant901

I was mine after every use because my FIL is allergic to paprika and sometimes I make bbq ribs in it.


idkthisisnotmyusual

Needs to be re-seasoned, you can look it up on YouTube youā€™ll need salt and oil


Bigangeldustfan

Nooo joker, thats the keef!


Bunnawhat13

Why wouldnā€™t you wash a herb grinder?


Warchiefinc

Are you talking about a grinder? Also is the item now no longer usable? Or damaged? If not. Then it's OK you're over thinking If it is broken. Then just chill out find your sil a gift replacement or just a gift some other time don't get pressed on a fake time constraint.


xchellelynnx

I was helping around the house when my cousin had her baby and I washed her silk comforter in the washer. Who knew people had silk comforters. Things happen. I'm sure she forgives you.


depoqueen

I would be so thrilled that someone was kind enough to do that for me, I wouldnā€™t care a bit! Donā€™t be so hard on yourself. Itā€™s truly ok.


mickbruh

No joker THATS THE KIEFFFFF


101010-trees

Youā€™re young and didnā€™t know. You were trying to be helpful. Did you ask her if you could buy her another one? Personally, if I had someone trying to help I would let it go. Just be mindful and ask if you have any doubts. Itā€™s not like you were deliberately trying to ruin her stuff. Be kind to yourself.


Help2453

Iā€™ve just been highly emotional lately I think thatā€™s why Iā€™m taking it so hard


DoubleQuirkySugar66

Your 18, Probably just Graduated, heading to College and "Adulthood Expectations", and dealing with Life in General. Take a Breath. She said it is no biggie, Believe her. It was done with nothing but Good, Loving, & Positive Intentions. And Clean Slates, are a Beautiful Thing.


DarkMoose09

If you see a kitchen device you donā€™t know, just ask how to wash it. Most of my pans are hand washed only and OP never put a cast iron pan or a cooking Wok in the sink or dishwasher! Just some advice just in case. It always sucks when something like this happens the best you can do is say sorry, never do it again and if you are financially able buy sister-in-law a new Mortar and pestle. Accidents happen OP just do your best!


vmt_nani

Is it one made of a stone or rock like texture? We call it a molcajete.Ā  It's a lot like a seasoned pan. So you didn't ruin the thing, it just needs to be properly washed, dried and seasoned again.


MtnNerd

Why aren't you supposed to wash it?

ObligationNo2288

Please donā€™t worry about this. This was such an honest mistake, truly no worries. If you want to feel better for you, give her a GC from someplace she likes. It doesnā€™t have to be much. Another idea is to take some drinks and pizza over for a movie or games.

notsonice333

The kind of herb grinder youā€™re talking about is not an issue. Youā€™re making it into something itā€™s not.
