Yeah, that’s right! It actually exploded and sent hot New England Clam chowder in my face. Now I can take a little burn but damnit if this scalding liquid didn’t find it’s mark and nailed me in my left eye.

Not only that, it also killed every enzymes & nutrients in that soup, if there ever were any!!!

We throw our micro oven out years ago. Why would anyone ever radiate foods and drinks on the alter of convenience???

I admit I am lazy but that’s the guy in my on the one hand on the other these days I just don’t have time that I use to.

I take care of a friend, who is now 100yrs and 4 months old, from 6PM-6AM every night and the entire weekend.

She talks in her sleep and sometimes tries to get up and look for these imaginary babies she can hear and feel in her dream.

No alzheimers or anything but the dreams are very real to her and I have make sure she stays in that bed as she is dealing with a hip operation that went about as well as it could but left her with diminished motor skills.

She is perfectly fine mentally, emotionally and spiritual. Can tell you all kinds of stuff that she has experienced over her 100+years, she can read, write for hours on end with not shakes and beautiful handwriting and goes to the bank to do her business.

Just something happens at night and it’s blah, blah, blah all night long.

I use to listen to them and probably still do as she wakes me up when she is on a roll but can only telly you her dreams are 100% positive as she organizes life how she sees it and how she wants it be, which usually happens.

A very happy and positive person.

But, the talking all night long and getting up to look for non-existent babies to take care means I don’t get full sleep to the point I go to my office many days and fall back to sleep for a couple of hours.

which means instead of getting a full 12 waking hours to work on my business some days I only have 4 and I don’t what days those are as my body dictates when I absolutely need sleep and forces me to take some.

So yeah, I am way short on time and sleep but I said I would take care of her until God calls her home and if this what God wants for me, for her, then there is some important lesson in all this.

But there it is and I am taking shortcuts. I would prefer my soup from the stove top but it takes more time than a microwave and New England Clam Chowder tends to build up that skim on the bottom of a pot that makes it hard to clean.

Same with potato’s and popcorn. Prefer they are cooked in the oven or on the stove but, it takes time and you have to watch the popcorn so one doesn’t burn it.

I do cook on the stove and the oven most of the time like with fish or vegetables and potato’s.

just take your potato’s put them 15-20 minutes ahead of time, then pop your favorite fish or chicken and vegetable recipe in the oven and Voila’! 15 minutes later it’s dinner.

I will say though that 2 minutes rice in a bag for the the microwave is way easier and is actually more nutritious for you than rice cooked on the stove. It comes in whatever flavor you want.

For the most part, only shortcut I don’t take is eating packaged food. Can’t stand it. I hate spaghetti sauce out of a can or jar. I don’t know what that chemical is but I can taste it in every one of them.

So there it is and in about two hours, I’m going back to sleep.

Morning all, erh, night night.

I rarely use my microwaves. I never cook in them. I use them to warm coffee, things like that. I know people that cook nearly every meal in them. I never do. I used to heat canned dog food for my dogs after it had been in the refrigerator until my vet said that it destroyed many of the vitamins.
