I've made the "zoodles" (zucchini noodles) and some spring rolls. <br />Before getting it, I used a "julienne" veggie peelier that did a nice job too.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003204378492456488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-37241923091844815622017-08-24T22:41:49.065+01:002017-08-24T22:41:49.065+01:00Oh the shop ladies will always say that...we were ...Oh the shop ladies will always say that...we were trained to say that years ago...and the trend continues,even after all these years.Thing is...their perks,in their wages depend on their sales.Debi,Lei,xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-68446848534894579372017-08-24T18:40:39.511+01:002017-08-24T18:40:39.511+01:00I've heard lots of agro about that spiralizer....I've heard lots of agro about that spiralizer. I just use my little handheld one. Not a fan of it either but it does the job. I don't like the fact if your hand slipped it would take several stitches to mend it up. The blades really should have some kind of shield around them. I would have bought a ton of the avocados. YUM.<br />They are over a dollar each here and sometimes close to 2-bucks.

I guess they would be simple to use if you had at least three hands!! Also all that washing up drove me mad, trying to get bits of food out of the blades without cutting myself. <br /><br />Anyway we decided that we like chopped up vegetables WITH spaghetti rather than spiralised vegetables pretending to be spaghetti :-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-62041797563092760042017-08-24T13:15:42.853+01:002017-08-24T13:15:42.853+01:00Try your local food bank.

Very organised in taking a carrot with you! But, the point is that it's your money and if you're not satisfied with the purchase then you have the right to take it back. I won't be bothering with one as I also have tons of kitchen gadgets in the cupboards that are little used and I'm not adding to the collection. Well done about the food purchases but it's a 'no no' from me about the avocados, I'm not a fan.

I bought mine for £8, but I saw the same in Tesco for £15. The price varies wildly.

Too much faff and you are absolutely right - it leaves a long core that you end up having to chop by hand anyway so what's the point?

He eats a certain brand meant for Pugs, but he has been getting a bit chubby, so we [vet and I] tried first the same brand in low cal, then the same brand in weightloss. Both weight control foods make my dog vomit with 10 minutes! [yes even the few kibbles I tried as I was working on the changeover]. I had emailed the food manufacturer and got no response, so feeling fed up and annoyed I emailed the online supplier and asked if they have a refund policy or credit policy in such a case. To my surprise they immediately refunded ALL money I had spent on the not-tolerated food. I was impressed! Over $70.oo! It pays to complain, nicely.<br /> Now I just need to figure out what to do with two very large bags of diet kibble. Shelters here won't take food in open bags.<br /><br />Next target is my oven manufacturer, the sleeve where it is inserted into the wall cupboards is very rusty! Should an oven surround rust? I don't think so....<br /><br />LizzyLizzy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925662100321427762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-80915261776367719312017-08-23T22:13:21.604+01:002017-08-23T22:13:21.604+01:00Oooo very jealous of your avocados.
