[Magdalen] Spiralizer?

[Grace Cangialosi]

Shortly after I posted my question, I found a Vegetti in the "as seen on TV" section at Target...who knew? I'll see how that works and how much I use it. I like the idea of a hand-cranked one, since that will be easier on my wrist.
Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm still on the fence about Jay's noodler just because of size, but it is much more versatile than the hour glass shaped one (which I noticed was selling for the 'TV price' of $14.99 at my local Jo Ann fabrics, which I could use a 50% off coupon to purchase, so I may go that route first and see how it goes).
