Garrard type A speed. Thanks for the kind words, David! I run on at the keyboard and I don't know if I am helping or not. There's a quick and dirty way to tell whether you have decent contact between the idler and the motor spindle and the idler and the inside of turntable.
Jicama is a vegetable, not a fruit. This round, fleshy vegetable can grow to be quite large, and its skin has a bark-like texture. The jicamaâs taste has been described as similar to an apple. Sometimes called a Mexican turnip, jicama is a starchy, slightly sweet root vegetable popular in Mexico.
With a sharp knife, trim a slice off the top and another off the bottom. These create a flat surface, making it a safe and sturdy vegetable to continue cutting. Work the knife around the jicama, cutting off wide swaths, first working from the top, then turning over and doing the other side. Now, the choice is yours. Dice the jicama, cut it into batons for a vegetable tray -- or grate it for coleslaw, say. It grates easily with a box grater, no need for a food processor except maybe for big batches.
