Please, remove the curse, already

Posted on by Sarah A. Hoyt

Okay, could whoever put a curse on our appliances remove it?

In the last year we’ve replaced everything except the microwave. So, two days ago I turned the microwave on. It turned itself off and gave off thise burning electrical smell.

What does this mean? It means we went shopping for microwaves. How come most places no longer carry anything larger than what’s suitable for heating a frozen entree? What is wrong with people? It’s like my kitchen being done in parquet, which is splintering, because I cook and I clean it. Scrub the floor, you know?

DON’T people cook anymore? What’s wrong with them?

Or am I the holdover of a different world, insisting on messing around with raw stuff till I create something edible?

So, last night, I slept horribly. Today I spent most of the day trying not to sleep, while attempting to write. And then I went microwave shopping.

In totto? Twenty pages written in the opening to musketeers, which means this outline can go on tomorrow. And then I can finish the Singularity story. And then I need to do the other two proposals. And then I need to finish Heart Of Light.

And then it will be Christmas.

  3. ROTFLMAO…could be that appliances just decided en masse to commit hari kari. :::shrug::: but what do I know. On a more serious note if they were older appliances…………they were probably about due to kick off anyway.

  4. No, you aren’t the only one who likes to cook, using raw materials. Both Jody and I do as well. Mmmm, the supper he made me last night was worth being up a bit in the night. And I do my baking from scratch, with the exception of pie crust, which I suck at making, but which Jody can do wonderfully. However, our microwave is usually just used for reheating things. Most of my cooking is on the stove or in the oven.

    1. To own the truth
      the reason I need a VAST microwave is… the boys. Why? Because they want to eat NOW which means often roasts have to be finished quicker — in microwave. Or defrosted in microwave. Almost everything gets defrosted in microwave.
      You’ll learn the urgency of the “NOW” when baby mammoth is a teen. :) (Well, before then, but one doesn’t microwave breast milk. Certainly not at the source.)
