The only ones I saw were priced in the 75-100 dollar range. While I have no problem plunking 10-20 down on a gadget 75 is a bit much. . .<BR/><BR/>Oh Paul, welcome to the world of Martha Stewart! All a mandolin is is a piece of plastic with a blade attached the you slide vegetables over to cut them up. BTW congrats on finishing your first year of law school. 1 down 2 to go!Vinnie G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12812979813169848065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578517.post-57137435094432860392008-06-10T08:37:00.000-04:002008-06-10T08:37:00.000-04:00Isn't a mandolin a stringed instrument? You know, like a guitar/violin hybrid? Now it can cut carrots, too?<BR/><BR/>I'm confused...The Dark Scribehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07185001848318919851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578517.post-86218284454788636042008-06-10T02:41:00.000-04:002008-06-10T02:41:00.000-04:00With all the gadgets you buy, you did not buy a mandolin?!
