These directions from an antique french fry cutter came from Tim. While the fry cutting may be good, it is evidently not ACTUALLY miraculous. Thanks for clarifying, miracle cutter.
^ I always love ridiculous qualifiers. There's a pub in midtown NYC that says something like "The oldest family-owned Irish pub in midtown". Whenever I see stuff like that, especially on Food network shows (I guess everyone wants to be "famous" for something) I always add my own ultra-specific qualifiers to the end, something like "...owned by (name of owner)".
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

"Antique"??? I have one of those. I don't think it is actually the "Miracle Cutter," but I do like it and use a lot.
I like the truth in advertising. Fry all those potatoes, and indeed, it's "just enough to cover bottom," at least in my experience.
Perfect New Ribbon Style Shoestring Potatoes. that's a whole lot of modifiers.

Maybe the "miracle cutter" is what you use to turn a few big miracles into many small ones.
