Micraonda

Noah here. We have been saving up for an over-the-range microwave for quite a while now and we finally bought one. It was a little sad to see our old little microwave go but it was extremely exciting to welcome Squelch into our home (we’ve named the microwave Squelch for obvious reasons… actually it’s not that obvious but it is because the original Latin translation for the word is “supersonic cook machine that will tell you what time of day it is. also, it can cook things with 1.21 Jigawat speed and has cat-like reflexes.")

We got so excited about welcoming Squelch into our home that we threw a party of sorts. We went to the grocery store on the corner and bought like 10 TV dinners (including 2 Hungry Mans… those of you who are TV dinner enthusiasts know exactly what I am talking about). We got everything from Mexican bowls to the classic TV dinner which is some mashed potatoes in one pocket, corn in the next, and some sort of squishy meat douched in gravy in the entrĂ©e size pocket. We even got some of the classic Mexican dinners that we used to eat at our cabin all the time growing up. Tal, Eli, Julie, Kristi and I had a blast cooking and eating TV dinner after TV dinner. I can’t believe how fun it was. Second only to tinfoil dinners; and a very close second at that.

Needless to say Squelch is a welcome addition to the family and he has really been pulling his weight around here. He cooks food very evenly and he has an oven rack that we’ve never used yet. No wait, we did use it once and it was very cool.

Wow, that is one sexy micro. I am impressed and I'm glad you guys didn't settle for second best. Yes, I do know what a "Hungry Man" is but I've never had the joy of digging in to one. Perhaps b/c I am not a hungry man?!
I have a frozen dinner brand for you to try: "Amy's dinners"...THEY ARE AMAZING! My favorite is her Indian food dish called: "Pallack Paneer."

Just as long as that's the name of your microwave and not the new baby ;0)
