sereneorangeLast Thursday I came home to a stinky house. Not cat box stinky. Not that damn candle I hate but my sister still lights stinky. It was filling the house with noxious fumes. We still don't know what it was, but it was seriously funky and smelled not just bad, but dangerous.
Now, my sister is a great cook. She doesn't need a microwave, but she is busy enough and deserves one. I personally cannot hardly cook rice. I am lucky I know how to put together a bowl of cereal and milk. Gourmet to me, is adding peanuts to my cornflakes. (That happens to be delicious).
Fini set out today to hunt down a microwave. She called and had a few options. We are limited by lack of funds and our strong rule of no white appliances. We decided on this model:
The Westinghouse Beyond Microwave
Fini pulled on the handle and it popped off. She was a bit freaked till she found out she didn't break the handle, it has a scanner. It will scan the UPC symbole on packaged foods and it cooks it according to the directions. If it doesn't have the info in memory, you simply scan it, cook it according to directions, and the next time you scan it, it remembers. Very cool. I have a geek microwave.
