You may recall that a few months ago our fridge died on us. Then our stove died. Well, now our microwave crapped out.
Yep, that means 3 of 4 kitchen appliances have bit the dust in the last six months!
You don't realize how much you use your microwave until it's gone. Yesterday I was baking and the recipe called for melted butter so I popped it in a glass bowl and threw it in the microwave. Only to be reminded that the MICROWAVE DOES NOT WORK!!
This was shortly followed by a stream of curses that would have made a sailor blush (thankfully the kids were downstairs). Then I thought: "now how the he!! am I supposed to melt the butter?!?!"
Luckily I'm not completely inept, and I just threw the bowl into the oven. So what should have taken 30 seconds ended up being a 5 - 10 minute exercise in patience.
I'm not sure what I did to anger the appliance gods, but at this point in time I'm ready to sacrifice a small child in order to save our last remaining appliance - the dishwasher.
