- I instantly walk by the microwave dinner section at the grocery store because I can't wake them. This is good because those meals really aren't good for you. Processed goodness right there!
- When I am actually home and not eating the pretty well rounded meals at school, I make my meals. I don't just microwave something. I have to actually construct something.
- Those spiffy new recipes for microwaved cakes in a mug? Can't indulge in those either.
- Can't reheat leftovers from take-out or restaurants. (I mean, I can with an oven, but it's less convenient, therefore, I don't do it)
Basically what I'm getting at is I don't have that easy way of zapping my food. I can't partake in the convenience of microwavable meals or desserts in seconds. I also can't take my indulgence from the restaurant home because I have no easy way of reheating it. I actually have to think about my food, which is pretty big.
Downsides to not having a microwave:
- Can't reheat anything quickly (I just made a big thing of scalloped potatoes, and have to reheat in the toaster oven for like 20 minutes.)
- Can't soften butter quickly. Hello cold butter on toast.
- No microwave popcorn (well, that really isn't a big deal)
- I can't have a jousting competition between two peeps!
The only irritants are that it's more of an event to reheat something, and I have to remember to take the butter out before I toast something.
All in all, I believe it has been pretty beneficial for me to not have a microwave. Sure, it is sometimes an annoyance, and I am sure when I live with someone, he'll want a microwave. But for now, I think it is pretty nice to not have one.
I know this is a weird post, but I wanted to talk about not having a microwave :) hahaha
