josh, thank you! crushed crystals came form the gilmerrockshop in texas: http://www.gilmerrockshop.com/servlet/t … Categories
this was my first order from them, probably a bit pricey, but very convinient, i didn’t built my own crusher yet ( i am a bit hesistant to crush the crystals myself, one day i might) … also, i wasn’t sure how much crystals/powder to put in, so i used around 1/2 teaspoon of each.
i do like to cook though 
sometimes i get carried away with spices, but dishes turnout to be eatable, which is good
