You don’t know how much you rely on something until it breaks!
Our microwave quit working yesterday. You would think that it wasn’t a big deal…but it is!
Let’s start with breakfast…1 c. of oatmeal, 1 3/4 c. water – pop it into the microwave for three or four minutes…breakfast!
Hot cup of tea, left-overs for lunch, baked potato and veggies for dinner…all go into the microwave.
So there I stood, trying to figure out how to heat my water for tea. I don’t have a teapot anymore. I finally found a pot that I could use. You see, most of my cookware is either for the microwave or the oven! I don’t count my cast-iron pans for frying.
What really gets me, is the microwave was only 10 years old! What ever happened to long-life appliances. Our furnace -died last year…it was ten-years old. Even our water-softener went…two days after its 10th birthday!
Guess I’ll have to go shopping today and get a new one. Can’t seem to find my recipe on how to boil water.
