It just seemed like a bad idea. Especially for me. But last weekend I decided that I wanted to try my hand at pickling some radishes (because I love pickled things and I recently discovered that I quite enjoy radishes so why not?).<\/p>\n<p>I asked Michael if he wanted to help me with the Mandoline or take me to the ER. Either way, he needed to be aware and on hand. \ud83d\ude42 He said &#8220;didn&#8217;t it come with a widget?&#8221; I had no idea so we poked around and found a widget. He experimented and low and behold it was for the mandoline! YAY! I feel excited that we discovered I CAN use the mandoline with the widget thingy and I don&#8217;t have to worry about slicing off my hand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/FullSizeRender1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-46212\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/FullSizeRender1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"FullSizeRender\" width=\"695\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/FullSizeRender1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/FullSizeRender1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/FullSizeRender-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-46213\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/FullSizeRender-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"FullSizeRender-1\" width=\"695\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/FullSizeRender-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/FullSizeRender-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You stick the radish on the prongs and then slide it down the mandoline and your fingers are all intact\u00a0afterward.

Sliced radishes ready for pickling and no fingers were lost in the making of it.

I also sliced up about four cloves of garlic and added that to the radish mixture in the jar. I followed the instructions and boiled the water, vinegar, salt and syrup. I ran the jar under hot water then put the radishes, garlic, red pepper flakes and peppercorns inside, mixed it up a little and then poured the liquid in the jar. I mixed that up, sealed it and put it in the fridge. Unfortunately it takes a few days for the radishes to pickle and be ready to sample but I&#8217;m confident that they will be good!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_7309-e1426989280929.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-46218\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_7309-e1426989280929-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7309\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_7309-e1426989280929-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_7309-e1426989280929-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_7312-e1426989299727.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-46220\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_7312-e1426989299727-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7312\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_7312-e1426989299727-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_7312-e1426989299727-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI waited about 6 days and then gave them a try.
