[Cheryl A. Charis-Graves (ccharis]

The thing about recommending against the microwave over the stove amused me
somewhat. At one point in my life, I moved into a house with no stove. I
bought a microwave, put it on a cart in the place where the stove would have
been, and it stayed that way for the next 12 years. I bought a stove when I
moved out, as a condition of selling. The census bureau didn't know what to
do with me, as the absence of a stove in my house placed me in a "category"
that didn't match my income or professional status. 'Twas a bit humorous, I
thought.

In my present home, I gave away my working countertop microwave and
installed an over-the-stove model after move-in at great additional cost.
It's really the only appliance I use on anything close to a regular basis.
Actually, if I could turn my kitchen into a home office, I'd probably be
"cooking" a lot more on my book, instead of piling up the countertops with
papers, books, etc.

Oh well,
