Our microwave just went kaput. I placed my cold meal in for 3 minutes and sat around waiting for my tasty entree to be steamin' hot. Beep, beep beep "Ah, nice hot food, let's eat! What the... gosh, didn't I put this in for 3 minutes, should be blazing by now, hmm, let's go another round. (3 minutes later) Beep, beep beep (Food is still cold)
Dang Microwave! Everything else works just fine, the light goes on, turntable goes round and round, minor detail though. It doesn't heat! Phil came home just shortly after I and I told him the grim news. He tried again, maybe, just maybe it would work for him. (It didn't) We have friends that don't even use their microwave for it's sole purpose, it happened to come with the house and now they use it as another cupboard. I asked Phil how on earth they did it. How does one live without the ability to zap your food in mere seconds? I cook regularly and the only reason we use our microwave, like most of America, is to reheat our nightly creations for lunch the next day.
Our super duper convenience is only a whopping $400-$600 appliance thanks to it's space saving, over the range abilities. Guess I will be dirtying many a pot and pan to reheat the good ol' fashioned way until we can scrummage up the dough or find a steal on Craig's list.
In the words of Kip from Napoleon Dynamite,
" Yes I love technology
But not as much as you, you see
But I still love technology
Always & Forever
(sniff) Always & Forever"
(sniff) Always & Forever"
Fare thee well dear beloved microwave, till we meet again, er I mean till we heat again
