Then try to imagine cooking bacon and sausage for four hundred non
stop, and first thing in the morning, when out of bed only ten minutes
and before the first sip of cawfee.

Anyone claims they never screw up never cooks. It's very rare I
forget to put something in teh fridge but it's much more often I
forget the item I put in the microwave... heck, every so often I'll
search for my coffee mug and can't find it until I next open the
nuker. Fortunately the items I place in the microwave are very rarely
perishables, frozen veggies won't spoil over night.

Not me, I can't tolerate the stench... I'd much prefer fried Spam.
