Anouther Casualty of Married Life
Don’t worry my wife and I are fine. My microwave however got the boot when the Mrs moved in and honestly I haven’t really missed it…..yet. I know that it is really strange to live without a microwave nowdays but the decision pretty much boiled down to counter space and the microwave had to go.
Now this is not as revolutionary of a move as getting rid our TV(which we haven’t done). No-one blames the microwave for the childhood ADHD, obesity epidemic, etc… Living without one however really gets you thinking about what you are eating.
We have really adapted to life without one very quickly. Neither one of us eat a lot of overpriced instant foods and we don’t have a stack of microwave dinners to heat up. To survive we dug up an old kettle to boil water with and in the event that we need to reheat food we just do it in a pot on the stove.
Does this move save us any money? Not really, we already had the microwave and it doesn’t use that much electricity so I don’t expect to see any savings there. We do save a little money in that most of our grocery costs are basic ingredients but that was something we were doing before. I guess the biggest saving is space, which is something we desparetly need right now.
Anyone else considering making the jump?
