We only go to brunch on Super Sunday, so I can't say what the
crowds are normally like, but all the places we've gone, it's
always packed. We make reservations.

You're right about vegetables being pretty much the same, but I don't
think it's any quicker than steaming. My microwave is used to reheat
food and boil water, not to "cook" anything. Might as well throw a
frozen heat and eat meal in there if I'm going to use it for "cooking"

I like to make one serving of bacon in mine, very easy, no mess. I do think
it's quicker for things like cauliflower, cabbage etc. I use my microwave
for a lot of things, for cooking hamburger that is being used for taco meat
etc. I find it to be very convenient, and would not want to do without one.
I feel the same way about my stick blender and my FP.

I don't use mine for cooking either. Reheating a tortilla isn't cooking.

I don't get worked up over it, but the problem is that you just can't
get away from it, and the buildup goes on for weeks and weeks. So if
it's not you're thing, after a few years it can become rather irritating.

Sigh...if only people cared half as much about intellectual prowess as
physical prowess. I'd rather see our money and attention focused there.

It sounds like good food and a good time. And I guess any reason for a
party is a good one.

Not at my Costco...they close half an hour before kick-off.
