Slit film.5 minutes on high.Sit at computer.

It’s great! I push buttons pretty well; and it’s geared to me!

I never vent. It always loosens at the seams or I hear a slight pop.

Those things never cook right in the microwave.

Next week – delicious boil-in-the-bag entrees.

Would a bachelor tell you to eat over a sink?

My girlfriend’s recipes always start with, ‘…fold back foil to expose tater tots.’

She really likes my cooking, though. My mother used to say, ‘the way to a woman’s heart is through her stomach.’

Slit film to vent. Microwave for 3 minutes. Peal back film and stir potatoes. Replace film and microwave 2-2 1/2 additional minutes. Let stand in microwave for 2 minutes. Enjoy.

Bob’s helpful tip of the day: Don’t put a can of soup in the microwave.

I have found that if you keep your dirty dishes in the refrigerator, they don’t turn black near as fast.

If you are VERY careful you can warm up a hard boiled egg in the µWave. Heat a large egg for max 14 seconds wait a bit and give it another 14 seconds. If you have a high power oven try 11 seconds. 30 Seconds all at once will usually explode the egg like popcorn.

Do you mind if I pass on this suggestion?
