I have thought about posting a blog on this topic. It’s been while now but our microwave died one and as pitiful as it sounded we didn’t have the extra funds to buy a new one. We kept putting off buying a microwave to the next paycheck. Until the magic happened….We don’t need a microwave now. I love heating tea water in a kettle. Popcorn in my air popper is the only way I like popcorn. I love heat soups and leftovers with my stove. Yes, you have to plan meals and defrosting better. But hubby and I are so much happier when we have a plan for dinner. This is how the Burlap Bag explained life without a microwave: http://www.theburlapbag.com/2012/09/how-we-live-without-a-microwave/
