This is why I can't have nice things

[james_davis_nicoll]

Bus went missing. A bunch of us at the Stanley Park Mall split on a cab. That got me a few blocks from my place. Slog home, put a snack in the microwave, the power dies before I can hit on. I put the frozen snack back in the freezer, wait the power cut out. Power comes back on. I turn on the microwave.

White smoke comes out. See, I forgot to put the food back in before turning the microwave back on....

Fuck fuck fuck.

At least I didn't burn the house down.

Well, I know what my next major purchase is....

Any recommendations for cheap, reliable brands of microwave ovens?

Have you read Patrice Kindl's The Woman in the Wall? I quite like it despite its problems, but apparently the little girl/woman bakes with a normal oven, and I want to know how she manages to do that without injuring herself given how tiny she is (small enough to fit in a purse when we first meet her).

No, I don't know about that book, and I don't know how a small person could cook in a big oven!
