Correct Cindy. Also, I can reheat, but trying to make a true meal is to
be rude and take more of your share of 'microwave time'. Most of the
folks at work who need 4 mins or more microwave time, eat a little
early or late. Thats because between 10:45-11:45, we can have up to 30
people who just want to rewarm some soup or something for 2 minutes.
I will add that I am not a microwave cook. Like most, I use it to
reheat stuff. It, and a toaster is all I have at work. Perhaps Dave
works at home so he doesn't understand packing a lunch?
Off that though, I really like my work place. We have a sizable core
group who bring in fun freebies.
