On Microwaves

I have never liked microwaves. I have always felt strange about reheating foods in them. Derek has always told me, unless I could prove them unhealthy, that we were not getting rid of ours. I have never 'cooked' in a microwave, but I have reheated foods for "smorgasbord nights", as my family calls leftover nights. About 2 months ago I heard about the study done on microwaved water's effect on plants, the plants which received microwaved, then cooled water, died. It was enough to back up my thoughts about microwaves. Without telling Derek, I just began heating everything in the toaster oven or on the stove. I pretended as if the microwave didn't exist. I used a lot more pans, leading to a lot more dirty dishes. I also was reluctant to have smorgasbord nights, but I did, 12 pans later, we feasted, it tasted better and foods stayed hotter longer.

After 2 months of being microwave free, I unplugged the radiation supplier and moved it to the top of the fridge.



I gained a huge amount of counter space and my kitchen just feels better. I urge you to take the step. 
If you know me, you know how busy I am, if I can do it, YOU CAN DO IT!
