Ham bone soup, pickles, and an injury

I made this soup from Melissa Clark's new book (after hunting down a ham bone Saturday morning), and let me tell you that it is easy and delicious.


























Early Sunday, we went to the New Amsterdam Market Pickle Festival (where Fulton Fish used to be), to sample some pickles - again, an easy and delicious activity. I bought some dense, chewy nordic breads, more than one kimchi dog, and got inspired to get a little crazier with flavors during pickle making.















Lastly, I had an accident. A really un fun accident. While attempting to make these pumpkin coriander falafels. I was using a hand blender to smooth the chickpeas, and when they mucked up the blender end, without thinking I used my thumb to scoop it clean..then pushed the button by accident. Um, ouch. Nine stitches and a fracture later, here I am in the emergency room doped up and novocained out. Please remember to use your brain when you use the hand blender!! And a chopstick for un-mucking.
