Bought 5+ pounds of pickling cucumbers and onions yesterday, got out the
spices to make sure I had everything for bread-and-butter pickles.
Rinsed the Benriner mandoline and started slicing. Began layering in
the bowl and discovered NO PICKLING SALT, NO KOSHER SALT. Dang. I've
had both of those in the cupboard for over 40 years, can't believe I
used them up and didn't replace. Refuse to use iodized salt but hey,
here's some Maldon Sea Salt! Bingo!

Question: did I make the right choice or should I have gotten dressed
and run to the store for the Right Salt? (It's too late now, by the way.)
