desayunoencamaSomewhat randomly, I was given a microwave today. I was helping someone load her car for a move, and she had a microwave in the trunk that someone else had given her (or it was her old microwave since someone had given her one). And of course, the move wouldn't fit if we didn't take the microwave out, so I wound up taking it home.
I'm not sure how I feel about having one. I was very content to live microwave-free all these years. I understand they have their uses, but...
Most importantly, it's taking up counter space and using the plug where I planned to put the rice cooker that I will buy in January (once Rebajas kick in).
I don't think I want an appliance that I won't actually be using, especially if it is not just taking up space but preventing or making difficult the use of an appliance I DO want and plan to use...
(I love rice, but it's a hassle for me to cook it; since I'm living gluten-free still, more rice in my diet would be a Very Good Thing (tm). So it's a bigger priority than a microwave. And after the rice cooker, I want a freezer, since I only have a half fridge and it has a little freezer drawer but that's it...)
