From now on when I hear the word "Alaska" I'll no longer think of igloos, sub-zero temperatures and furry parkas. Thanks to our most recent purchase we don't have to wait 2 hours to bake a potato or wonder how to reheat the leftovers for the 3rd time without drying them out. Yes that's right, thanks to the Alaska MW 1000 all our dreams of fast cooking have come back to life. Since microwaves are not a hot commodity in the states it's hard to understand our dilemma, but after Jayme tried for a 1.5 hours to bake a potato on Saturday only to eat it half raw, we finally gave in. When asking our neighbors if they had a microwave, we got the typical response of, "No, I've heard bad things." Many Turks think that the newest technologies lead to cancer, and they may have a point, but we are taking our chances with this one. The only problem now is that, as you may be able to see in the picture, we will have to wait a month before eating anything other than sandwiches since we blew our eating budget on our new cooking machine. Didn't I hear something as a kid about spending all your money on a new wallet. Oh well, we are excited about the long-term success of this little machine and it has replaced the electric matress pad as our best purchase, which is another one of those inventions that they've heard bad things about.Tuesday, February 20, 2007

Congrats on the purchase. We are in the land of small appliances, and can appreciate your need for a minature oven that can crank out dinner faster than the Sonic in Philly on a Saturday night.
Nice pick up on the microwave. I'll make sure I bring over some EZ-MAC when we come.
Also, Jared, you've got to make up you mind on ONE team and stick with it. Your sports polygamy is really quite depressing.
It is Fenerbahçe, Galatasary, or Adana?
Seriously. It's like wearing a Yankees jersey and a Red Sox cap on consecutive days.
