The microwave exploded! I made a casserole of celery, white onion, baby carrots, and red potatoes. I placed the casserole dish in the microwave, set it for 5 minutes, pressed the power button, and the microwave exploded! Flames appeared inside the oven, smoke emanated from the vents, and the acrid stench of burning electronics permeated the air. I jerked the microwave's power cord from the wall, extricated the casserole dish, and tossed the smoldering, reeking carcass that was once a GE Profile microwave oven onto the front steps.
I sautéed the vegetables. When they were nearly done, I added two large boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the sauté pan. It was a delightful meal.
Later that evening, while watching "Bait Car" on Court TV, Laura asked, "Would you like some popcorn?" "Yes," I said—snickering quietly. It did not take Laura long to determine that it would be impossible to make microwave popcorn without a microwave oven!
