molino de la cocina

español al inglés Otros General / Conversación / Saludos / Cartas
Letter in Spanish written in U.S.; writer of unknown origin

Pero la Sra. Maria cuando se arruinava que la lavadora, que la secadora, que el molino de la cocina, que la alfombra sucia y todo lo e pagado yo.

Could this be "garbage disposal"?

Thanks!

agree eski : But it's written in the US and I'll bet it does, in fact, refer to the garbage disposal unit in the kitchen sink. Saludos, David: eski

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Yes, I think this is it because this is a letter from a landlord complaining about her tenant who wanted everything repaired, and the "molina de la cocina" was one of the things repaired."

grinder

Molino de la cocina is used in Latin American culture to make flour or tamales etc. You can put wheat or corn grains in and grind it to get a finished product. Take a look at the link below for a picture. As far as the translation goes I would say grinder but do not know exactly the term in English since it is not something I have seen used in American culture.
