New Appliance Day At The Compound

                                             

I'm very sad to report that after 26 years, our beloved Litton microwave oven bit the dust this week. To be honest, it was still in operation, but there were huge cracks in the oven, and we really didn't want to risk being exposed to harmful microwaves while we tried to pop one more bag of microwave popcorn.  So yesterday the 'Rents went out in search of a new one, and came home with the above GE model.  It's simple and easy to use (our main prerequisite) and more importantly, this model has a "Popcorn" setting on it. It also fits in nicely with our other white appliances in the kitchen.  In case you didn't know, I'm all about color coordinating.

As for our old microwave, I guess appliance manufacturers just don't make things to last these days.  I bought the Litton microwave in September of 1982 with my first official paycheck as a working quasi-adult.  Maybe we'll get our money's worth out of the new one.
