I got a mandoline slicer the other day at Winner’s. It was only $20 and comes with several attachments for grating and stuff (and we needed a new grater) so I’ve used it daily since. I made salads on the weekend and made some pickled onions and today I sliced up some raw beets because nothing says health (to me at least) like raw beets. I am already planning an enormous vat of scalloped potatoes (“eww” says Ari when I announced this, but she thought I meant scallops and she’s right, scallops are EWWW).
I almost wonder how I’ve lived so long without one.
There are also cookies on the horizon, proper crinkles with Skor bits. I’ll share them with my loved ones but only if Lake Saab gets mopped up.
I dressed them with the sauce from the pickled onions (which was really just fresh lime juice, salt and a little olive oil) and a squeeze of orange juice.
mandolines rock!!
I couldn’t live without mine.
Must-have-mandolin?
Ooh. Nummy. I love me some beets, raw, pickled, cooked, I’ll take it. I think my fave is pickled with cinnamon though.
Mandoline thing looks handy.
I think I was reluctant to buy one because I thought it would be hard to clean, but it’s totally not.
Must have indeed.
