An Experiment of Micro-wave Proportions

When my husband and I returned from our holiday trip to Utah, we came home to a house that we determined, after conducting several experiments, had no micro waves. The spinner would spin, the light would turn on, the clock would count down the seconds towards yummy quesadilla or leftovers, but there was no heat.

Determining that there was no warmth coming from our beloved appliance, we called it: Jan 1, 2008, 9:00 p.m.

So now (after realizing that the cheapest microwave our closest discount store carried was $70), we have decided to conduct an experiment as to whether we actually need a microwave, taking up valuable counter space. Can we travel back in time 50 years and survive without this wonderful appliance?

Let the games begin.
