    Allot of Aussie’s have zucchini noodles in place of pasta, I’ve never made them however they are cheaper this week down from $9 kg to $2 kg so I might just try making zucchini noodles

    I have never tried zucchini noodles either but I have heard of them...
    Do they contain flour in the ingredients ?? If not, go for them.. If yes, pass...

    Veggies for tonight with the fish will be sliced and steamed carrots and parsnips, mashed with butter and chives..
    Dessert... I made a surprise dessert..
    I put in the bottom of a small bowl half a stewed peach and covered it up with a spiked vanilla pudding so you can't see the peach..
    Pot of tea...

    A zucchini noodle only has the zucchini in it, @Steve North . They have little devices called a “spiralizer” and when you twist the veggie in it, it comes out like long spaghetti strings.
    There are different type of spiralizers. Some are small, hand-held ones, some are larger, and with a handle to turn to put the veggie through the spiralizer blade.
    I have one of the little ones for when I just want to spiralize up a quick zucchini or carrot, but I also have a larger eclectic one , called a Veggie-Bullet, and it is great if you want to make larger quantities.
    The spiralized zucchini tastes about like the spaghetti squash noodles, but only takes 1-2 minutes to cook because it is already cut into the spaghetti strips.
    This is one of the small hand-held ones, but if you google spriralizer, you can see that there are a lot of different kinds and sizes.

    One of these small ones doesn’t cost much at all, and it is handy when you just want to chop or spiralize a few things.
    This one has 3 different spiralizer blade, plus has 2 graters and 2 juicing tops, and with the little container, you don’t have to worry about cleaning up little bits of grated carrots (or whatever).

    Honestly, I have so many kitchen gadgets as is that I hardly use, so I think I will pass on this one that I won't use very often...

    Friday...………
    We are off to Sudbury for the day which means a trip to Wallmart..
    I will be buying a BBQ chicken and it will most likely be our supper...
    Why not pick-up a Caesar salad kit bag at the same time and have it with the chicken..
