Ep 29: The Accidental Discovery of the Microwave
Manage episode 365189171 series 2920115
Ever wondered what your life would be like if you didn't have access to a microwave oven? And I don't mean cooking over a fire for your camping trip or your Appalachian Trail hike (Ooooo this sounds awesome!) I mean every day for the rest of your life, planning and preparing all your meals, leftovers, quick snacks, movie night popcorn...everything! Now let's be clear, there are many people in the world who live their lives this way, and it's normal for them. But can you do it? Or is just the thought of it giving you terrifying end-of-the-world-daymares. I can speak from personal experience that it's not easy. When I go visit my family, even heating up water for tea has me pacing or grinding my teeth--my sister might say, "it's just an opportunity to practice patience." Aaaarrgghh!!!
In this episode, we discuss the accidental discovery that led to people like me kissing patience goodbye...that is, of course, until it comes back to bite us in the butt. Listen now to learn how curiosity and ingenuity changed our lives around food.
