Amazon Product of the Day: Microwave for One

| January 18, 2012

This gag NEVER gets old.

I received this book from my “friend”, Jimmy Pike, shortly after my ex-wife absconded to the plains of northern Florida with our gardener, Rodrigo Figueroa. (Yes, that’s right you smarmy, back-stabbing twit – I’m calling you out!) In her wake, she’d left me with little else, but a microwave and a suspicious and malodorous rash. For better or worse, a few nights of panicking, challenging urination and a 2-week course of antibiotics soon left me with only the former. As I began to regain control of my faculties, it became apparent that my steady diet of Polly-o cheese sticks and mustard would not do. Still, while my appetite was returning, I found it impossible to operate the aforementioned microwave. That’s when I recalled that I had in my possession the one book that could help me. I am, of course, referring to Sonia Allison’s “Microwave For One”. Rarely has a tome so accurately captured the quiet desperation of post-marital cuisine. The chapters are well-organized and provide very simple, clear instructions on how to prepare a wide assortment of meals. (I would caution you, however, to try and pick-up an unused copy of the book. The one gifted to me was clearly secondhand as some of the writing had been smudged out by what I’m assuming were the previous owners errant tears.) From her Cheetos Souffle to her mouthwatering recipe for Canard A’la Sunkist, Ms. Allison does not disappoint. (Yes, of course she is single.) Bon appetit!

H/t to AR, the 3.4 kid.

“This useless book was too big to fit in the slot of my VCR! How am I supposed to see the recipes? I’m not happy!”

Claymore; try shoving it into the SD card slot on your Kindle.

Is that 110w or 220w?

Claymore–more likely than not it is powered by those little rowing guinea pigs, with the fat one going, “Row!”

I’d get this book, but I’m currently being sued by 14 people because they claimed I was improperly e-mailing while I was driving using my Wheelmate Laptop Steering Wheel Desk.

NH – just be careful not to break your laptop’s cupholder. It’s not rated for the larger beer steins.

I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time. The reviewer comments on the Amazon listing are each and every one a work of art.

She let you keep the microwave? LUCKY!!!
