I purchased these.........

forrestwolf — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 01:35:15 GMT

I saw these on my first trip to a BB&B recently in Jax Beach, and I eat a lot of melons, and hard squashes, and just use them all of the time......AND....yes, a gadget.......but have made my life easier, for such a simple tool.......... And, less than 10.00...........They are made by OXO...........

Thanks for the info! I eat a lot of melon and squash. I will probably order on line. I wish we could use the coupons on line.

I so agree, as I do not have a BB&B any where near me, as I purchased in JAX Beach, and that is a far way for a $10 item........but of course, I bought more than that......1st time ever in their store........

Does it really work better than a big spoon? I LOVE gadgets but had put myself on a moratorium....until I saw these...

I would love to scoop out the innards of hard squashes! That is such a pain!

Could you then use it to scoop the spag squash out once it is cooked?

TIA!

Oh soooooo YES.........I made a spaghetti squash on Sunday, and scooped out the seeds, then baked in the oven, cut, with cut sides down, and you know how hot they are, and I scooped out the entire contents of the squash, and shredded with a fork, once out of the shell, and added in simply salt, pepper, and butter, and they also worked well stirring in the butter, as what the picture does not show, is that they do have a bit, and just a slight so rounded curve to them......Just one use, and I am sold.......... I think next time I will shred with a fork and then scoop out, but there was no waste........

Well dang. I see you ventured out of the forrest and were right on my front door step but you didn't stop by to see me We could have had lots of fun talking pressure cookers and recipes. I just got the hipp pressure cooking cookbook and it is really good. Focuses on electric style instead of just stove top which so many others don't. Good to see you posting again

I bought these at TJ Maxx this summer. I've found them to be very useful. They're like a big spoon with a sharp plastic edge.

Oh about a mile from Mayo! Know where the hobby lobby is (beach blvd & san pablo)? I live in small subdivison right behind there. I drive by Mayo every weekday on my way to work. When you come for treatment are you staying at the clinic or somewhere else in Jax?

I have not noticed the Hobby Lobby, but when I am down, I stay at the Hampton Inn on 1st ST.........right on the beach for me....... I have found wonderful seafood at the Seafood Kitchen on Atlantic Blvd, as well as Ragtime for their shrimp picatta, they will make special, as not on the menu........Heck, since I am only 4 miles from Mayo.....I have to be close to you......... I have found a cemetery on Beach that I want to go to, but they tell me there is one part I should only go to if I am black, or else........DO WHAT........

I tried that, and even contacted the company to use online, since I do not live near one, and they said I can only use the coupon IN THE STORE.............

Forrest when you leave your hotel and go to Mayo you probably turn from 1st Street onto Beach Blvd. and head over the intercoastal bridge towards Jacksonville. Go down and turn left on San Pablo. After you turn onto San Pablo, there is a shopping center on your right and Hobby Lobby is in that shopping center. So yeah. Really close.

It sounds like you have already discovered some excellent restaurant choices and both of those you mentioned have been in business a looooong time. I will think of some others for you.

I don't even know what to say about that cemetary and only going to "certain parts". Weird. That's for sure. Maybe some local ghost story or legend. I've been in Jax since 1984 and never heard that one

Just looked it up...know where you are.........the cemetery is at Beach Blvd and Penman, with a different cemetery on each side of Beach Blvd..........Oh so beautiful........ I went to 3rd Street BB&B, and this is where I bought this item........

Re: I purchased these.........

SharkE — Sat, 15 Nov 2014 04:24:43 GMT

they send me online coupons all the time. Strange.

Re: I purchased these.........

Daysdee — Sat, 15 Nov 2014 04:35:36 GMT

If you go into a store and they place the order for you online you can use a coupon and they ship for free.

Re: I purchased these.........

forrestwolf — Sat, 15 Nov 2014 16:08:18 GMT

That is my problem.....I get coupons daily, but they are in store only......And I do not have a store any place near me......
