Even more special if she can do it without burning the milk.

I don’t own a microwave either, I do sometimes miss it though.
Microwaves not only boil the water faster, they use less energy than an electric stove.

I used to use the microwave exclusively, but now, I use a kettle because you can make multiple cups of tea, plus theres that anticipation of a hot cup of tea, and the steam whistle is oh so satisfying.

I made ramen in a coffee maker. Not “cup o noodles”. The brick noodles.
It’s an art, not a science.

I use a coffee pot to make coffee. That counts for something, right?
They say the newcomer is the most important person at the meeting, but I believe it is the coffee maker lol.

An electric kettle was my first big sober-money purchase. It takes a little less time and a little less power to do a full kettle than it used to for one cup.
But it has cool blinky lights, so it’s way better than a microwave.

Put tin foil in the microwave and you will have all the blinky lights you could ever hope for.

We have two microwaves, because we don’t have the patience to wait on one.

I know it lol or I woulda bought another by now. Its helped with my patience for sure. Refrying or popping something into the oven isn’t bad.
Another good thing about a microwave in AZ is it doesn’t put off a lot of heat. A hot oven on a 110 degree day can make life shitty

I have a tea kettle. I only use it in the winter. I have this belief, because of my mother, it’ll keep me from getting a headache from “running the heat” in the winter. I don’t make tea in it. I boil cinnamon sticks n such in there, so the house will smell good. Anyway, surely the small amount of steam from my tea kettle doesn’t put enough moisture in the air to prevent a headache.

Where I grew up, you wanted steam in the air, to keep your sinuses moist and your skin from cracking. Dry air gave you pneumonia, or the croop.

Yea she thought it helped sinuses and skin. I do too, because that’s what she said. Do you think it really works tho?
Yes. Live in a climate where the air gets dry and cold, or even just dry, some moisture in the air makes a huge difference. That’s why I use a Neti pot twice a day.
