It’s been a year now. The food processor’s gestation period,
like its size, appears to be elephantine.
So I’m now the proud owner of a replacement device: A mandolin. It slices. It juliennes. It fits in the silverware drawer. And its tiny bits stay attached. (Which is only right.)
I celebrated my bounty by making the most amazing salad I've had in...well...38 days.
Here's the recipe:
Equipment
Mandolin
Ingredients
2 small ripe tomatoes
Jicama, partially peeled
2 basil leaves, chopped
1T capers
Sea salt, ground pepper to taste
Using mandolin, slice tomatoes into a bowl. Julienne about 1/4C of peeled jicama. Top with chopped fresh basil leaves, capers, and salt and pepper. Toss and enjoy.

Maybe if the machine could actually see how adorable Paul McCartney was in 1976, I'd have more success: Silly Love Songs.
Nice mandolin. Do you wear the gloves that can come with it, too?? So fancy...NOT! I love my mandolin as well, though mine has misplaced it's julienne attachment, so I'm less thrilled than I could be. All I can do is slice, but I live with it. We're not all perfect, including my mandolin.
