Apparently 2 minutes is way too long to take a donut for a spin in Microwaveland. When I retrieved it from the cook-box, it was literally frying in its own sugar. So I had donut-flavoured biscotti for breakfast. Dan politely declined any offers of warm donuts for breakfast after that.

The microwave oven was placed at a strange too-high height - above my head. I had to raise my arms to open the oven door and once I placed the food onto the spinny-thing inside, it disappeared from my sight completely! So when I didn't close the oven door properly, it rebounded and whacked me soundly on the forehead :( Thank goodness for my sweet husband who kissed the sore spot to make it better and SLAPPED the oven for being such a jerk.

On a more positive note, I'm starting to improve my meat-carving skills - after almost killing my husband with extra-thick slabs of Spam in his sandwiches. I guess Spam is not like sashimi - thicker is not better. I've improved though - the second can of Spam was more thinly sliced, albeit the pieces turning out slightly wonky. Some of the sandwiches had Spam shavings - but hey, at least they were THIN.

Well that's what you get from a wife who grew up on idiot-proof cold breakfast cereal with milk. Guess what my kids will be eating.

At least they will have nice donut-flavoured teething rusks to gnaw on.

naahhh don't worry.

I almost burnt my house down cos i put bread in my microwave for 5 mins... and went to talk on the phone.

yellow, sulfur smelling fumes came oozing outta the microwave and smoked up my entire house for the next 2 hours. my house literally looked like it was on fire, except that the "smoke" was yellow. I could only sit outside my gate and cry haha

anyway... i'll be following your blog for the next year so keep me entertained :D

Cheers,
