I've cooked pasta and made an excellent mac and cheese in the microwave.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hah! I totally watched that episode today I think. The dudes in Vancouver on Love it or list it too?
Yup!
I got over myself, which is good, and the apartment should be more or less ready to move into on Saturday.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I use the microwave for veggies, oatmeal, "baked" eggs...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can only make things hotter; you can't cook things.
But I want my microwave to make things hotter. If at the end of the hot session I have popcorn or cake or sweet potato taken from inedible to edible while semantically avoiding the word cook, it is of no concern to my tummy.

Scola, you will be happy to know that I have unmolded the cranberry sauce. I decided it needed more simmering.
All the bread is cubed and toasting (or drying out, I am unclear on the purpose of the oven at this point), so that went faster than expected.
