Winter, 1987
Dec 14.
It was a Monday.
Snow hadn’t fallen yet but the cold was always familiar by then.
I had just started watching The Price Is Right.
I stopped the microwave at 00:00.
It was just me, my pastel blue plastic plate warmed by the cut up hot dog resting on top and Bob.
Bob called another contestant down.
I don’t remember what the showcase was that day, but still, it’s a day I’ll never forget.
Our combination microwave/air fryer/oven has this cool function where after the timer hits 0 but before it beeps, it keeps turning until it is back in the original position (so if you have, for example, a coffee cup in there, the handle will face the same direction as it did when put in. That buffer to pull it out without beeping was kind of amazing.
Many microwaves allow silencing
House abducts kids now?
Always sounds like a siren at 3am.
Do any microwaves not do that?
