Classic Asian LOGIC

[The Gentleman Scamp]

Thinking it will make her happy I buy my Sandra's family a rice cooker so they can cook rice which isn't a solid cake blackened at the edges, tin opener so they don't have to 'stap and bend' tins of that awful Century Tuna anymore, and a microwave so they can reheat. The tin opener is not a problem and the rice cooker is "Nice and light, not heavy at the back and light at the front", the problem however, arises with the microwave as to where in the kitchen to put it.

Does she put it on top of the fridge like I suggest?



Nope.

Does she put it on the bendy shelf next to the toaster?



Nope.

Does she put it on the side next to the sink?



No, she puts it in the fucking living room area behind the (wooden) sofa on the telephone table.



I'm not even gonna try.

do they have the faintest idea what a microwave is for?

[The Ghost Of The Moog]

Perhaps they think its a television set.


"Why my tee vee not wurking?"


(Not a very comfy looking baroque 3 piece suite - did they nick it from the Malacanang Palace?)

[baldrick]

Did you buy some microwave cookware to go with it ? make sure they are dishwasher safe.
what about a microwave cookbook ? or VCD ?

What is a mircrowave for? I use mine for defrosting bagels and that is it.

[ChiangMai noon]

it's good for boiling carrots when the 4 rings on your oven are occupied.
nice and crunchy too.

[The Gentleman Scamp]

^^ I like to cook decent food so I generally don't use them.

Notice there's no flash flashback on the microwave door... That's because I have a Samsung NV10 and a steady hand.

reheating pizza or chinese food. i wanted one here but couldnt get the concept across.

[friscofrankie]

Pizza = medium electric skillet covered heat until the cheese melts again.
Chinese food what'sa fuckn wok for if not to re-heat chinese food?
Microwaves are for pussies
and exploding hard-bolied eggs.

You think?
After all of TGS's comments that he lived in a slum i would have expected much worse

[The Gentleman Scamp]

The outside is worse than the inside... A bit like the tardis.

From my experience of being married with a peasant I would say the living room is a better place to show off.

[mrsquirrel]

Why did you not marry a grouse or a partridge?

[The Gentleman Scamp]

If you mean what I think you mean then it's partly because I am more mongrel than fox and also because I don't want to have spoiled brat kids like the hi so black swans that marry rich guys.

How about a "Show Us Your Squalor" thread?

First time mrs k put a mug of milk in the micro it overflowed, she squealed, and of course ended up having to clean one helluva mess as I explained that hot milk rushes to the boil, and later ran a demo on the electric ring to show her. Then, next time she heated a mug of milk in the micro...

[klongmaster]

all for us to sit at home and chuckle...
thanks for the laugh mate...
