We purchased this from Walmart, about $20 including tax. This will positively impact our health and hopefully my weight. We both have diabetes. It makes spirals and ribbons from vegetables and fruits.Exbf came today (Thursday) and the plan for lunch was spaghetti sauce with spiralized zucchini and Parmesan. That did not happen. A coupon for Arby's got sandwiches and $1 got us two cokes from the machine in Walmart. I had returned something so had what felt like free money. It was not free, but I was too ill to think about spiralizing anything or eating what was in the house.
You can read about it here. Veggetti
Monday, I think, I had visited a lumberyard and gone into the huge area where people had been sawing. The second breath I took sent me into a coughing fit. Since then, I have just started coughing, seeing stars before my eyes as I coughed so hard. People run from me as they are alarmed by the cough.
Thursday, I awoke to the alarm before 9 am. I was so confused as to where I was, why was the alarm ringing, what to do. I was dazed like when you take a fifteen minute nap and are so discombobulated when you first awake, wondering what is happening. I staggered upright and continued to be confused and light-headed most of the day. Thank goodness exbf was here to drive me to doctor and WM for meds.
We took our lunch to the doctor's office to eat in the car while I waited my turn. So, I signed in before 1 pm. and got out of there about 4:30. There was only one person ahead of me, waiting to see the doctor. ???
The nurse could get not hit a vein as I was dehydrated. I had forgotten to bring water to drink, so all day I had none. My urine was clear except for ketones. ??? The doctor said she thought I had walking pneumonia but a blood test was the way to confirm her thoughts. So, she said she would treat me for walking pneumonia. I got a shot in both hips and three prescriptions. The only symptom I could give the doctor was I was dizzy and it hurt just a bit to breathe and I occasionally coughed! I had a slight temp. She had little to go on. Well, she did say she had seen lots of walking pneumonia in the office.
Exbf said he could tell I felt ill because my eyes were dull. Dinner did not happen either. I went in the house and packed food for him to take home: thawed, sliced ham from freezer; raw broccoli, zucchini, and yellow squash; grapes, Halos, apples; leaves of leaf lettuce and a whole tomato. I had baked carrots for him and forgot to put those in the bag. He had cheese and ham sandwich and a salad when he arrived at his house.
This Thursday night, I sit here feeling like I might just live. For dinner (after a nap) I had a Halo and then a bowl of spaghetti sauce with lots of Parmesan cheese. It was like spaghetti soup and delicious.
There were no decent yellow squash at WM yesterday or Publix today, and they were expensive. One small yellow squash that looked like it had been tossed about was 85 cents.
Has anyone used the Veggetti? There was another spiralizer there, about the same cost. But, the one employee who had used one had used the Veggetti and loved it. Do you use another appliance to spiralize? This one makes ribbons, too, so I can use zucchini for pasta in lasagna..
