Living without a microwave
Feb 7th, 2010 by prissycook
I grew up in a house with a microwave. My mom and grandmother wouldn’t let the kids stand close to the microwave when it was on. The rule in the house was we had to be at least a foot away and as we got older and perhaps more annoying, the perimeter rule relaxed. I should ask them about that one.
I’ve noticed lately that the only time I use the microwave is to reheat my coffee. Essentially, over time my microwave has become a uni-tasker. At the beginning of the year, I moved the microwave to the garage to test out life without a microwave.
It hasn’t been that bad. I’m drinking my coffee faster for sure. I’ve converted the space used by the microwave into a baking stand.
And, last weekend was the point of no return, the microwave sold in a garage sale for $25.

I don’t mean to double-comment on your blog (back to back!)…but I have to give you kudos for this. Jeff and I have been without a microwave for 3 years and don’t miss it. Every once in a while I tell him, “I only want a microwave to reheat coffee!” Then I read that’s all you used it for and you still got rid of it! I know of other people who live microwave-less lives and also live quite healthy happy lives
