(This here's what ya call the token picture to fill a post when I'm too busy to blog. Take my advice: Teach your children how to properly microwave a potato before you have to spend two nights installing a new range-hood oven unit.)
Our microwave (range hood unit) has been busted for a few months now. Just don't have any extra cash to get it fixed. We've really only been buying the essentials lately. Like just this week we had to buy some SIDI road shoes, a set of Salsa skewers, some Race Face Atlas handlebars...
Well, it was my son's doing. Hey, you can't really blame him at his age. He'll be 18 in a week, so that means he has only been operating microwave ovens for, what, 15 years or so?
His girlfriend was hungry, so he tossed in a potato and hit the "baked potato" button. What he didn't factor into this decision was that the only potatoes we had in the house were about the same size as a lime.
Fifteen minutes of "baking" charred that baby beyond recognition. We couldn't even use dental records or DNA to ID the remains. The microwave was totaled and the house smelled like smoke for three days. Fortunately, the damage was contained.
Back in '99, we had a kitchen fire that got into the attic. We were living in an apartment for 14 weeks after that sucker.

I'd like to hear that story!

Not enough holes with the fork first?
