I always thought that I liked the taste of eggs, but it turned out I
actually liked the taste of the butter on my toast.

I like the convenience and speed and the automatic operation of a
microwave.

For instance, I can assemble a tamale pie in about 15 minutes and nuke
it for 20 minutes and I can walk away and do something else while it
steams itself inside the covered Pyrex bowl for another half hour or
45 minutes.

I make a hearty pozole (Mexican white hominy stew) in the microwave in
the same way.

I could spend hours doing those things "authentically" in an outdoor
horno,
or a pib, but microwaving on my kitchen countertop is so much
easier...

Like I said, I LOVE to cook...for just me or a group of friends. It relaxes
me, it's fun, not a chore that takes me away from other things. I have a
glass of wine, play music...shut out the problems of the world and get into
the zen of cooking.

Besides, I have invested so much money in my lovely pans....
