Okay, I woke up at 4 am, and just had to order the spiral slicer thingy for zoodles. I have no willpoewer. I think I can do stuff with it that I can’t do with my mandoline.
Before you know it (knock on wood), I will be eating mounds of tromboodles bolognese.

I bought my wife one of these:

It was about one week before she got her hand in it. Hand still looking pretty rough. It looks like road rash. Poor baby.
I ordered one from Ebay for $36 w/free shipping from someone that has sold 207 of them and 100% rating. I like free shipping, I almost never pay any shipping.
Was one for $33 w/free shipping, but seller had a 96 rating, thats several complaints.
Well, I done spent some money, I think I should go back to bed.
I don't have a desire to spiral veggies. I have a Vidalia Chop Wizard (non electric) that is small (don't have a lot of storage room in small kitchen), was about $10, and it chops veggies into square small pieces. Put a not large piece of the veggie on top of cutter and push the lid closed and the veggie is chopped. I got this for cutting onions but can be used for anything. What I would like is a larger one of this type. I try to stay away from regular knives as I tend to end up cutting my hand when I cut veggies.
When I went last week to see the family who lost a family member, church women had brought food there and the one food that all put on their plate was a pasta salad. That had the spiral cut Fusilli and an Italian dressing and before long, that food was gone. There was a lot of that in a long wide throw away aluminum foil dish. I thought it was excellent. That is not difficult to make.
Anyway, I'm not spiral cutting veggies. The one on Amazon is $35+ with free shipping.
