I’m keeping the microwave to melt soap. Otherwise, I would give it up.

Miiko, just visited your site and loved the cucumber story! Yeah, those old microwaves are frightful. Way to go microwaveless – and yes, there’s nothing wrong with cold pizza!

I inherited my husband’s microwave oven when we got married. It was an obsolete one but it worked. Of course it is a health hazard. I finally convinced my dear husband to get rid of it. We’ll survive, I told him. More than a year has passed. And we have. To reheat pasta and everything else (except pizza), I use my big trusty steamer. Pizza is nice cold or there is always the oven toaster. Enjoyed your article on Contentment and Expectations. Expectations – that’s the easiest way to spoil any relationship. Glad I found your website! (Thanks to Mandi!) Blessings, Miiko

Mandi, thanks for the link to the Ethiopa ministry. I checked it out, really awesome! I used to dream of running an orphanage, and maybe will someday. For now, I feel like I have a very full load trying to manage what’s currently on my plate!

He and his wife were there for a brief stint to help some friends (one from Ethiopia) begin a ministry there. The friends are there now and are getting everything in order to build and run an orphanage (mudh needed). In November my parents and brothers and many friends are going over to help build the orphanage – I so wish that we could join them – but just not what God has for us right now. You can read about all of it here: http://www.xanga.com/argawrachel

So exciting to read what God is doing through them over there! ( :

Enjoy,
Mandi

Mandi, nice analogy for education…Oooh, French press Ethiopian coffee sounds divine! Where does he get it, or does he live there?

Mrs. Darling, s-l-o-w- is good. Stop, Listen, Observe, Wait. How’s that for an acronym for SLOW? :-)

I have also heard the microwave analogy used for education – are we trying to give our kids a quick get it over with education or are we building kids that will ponder and reason through everything placed before them – takes time definitely.
I have heard many of the same things about microwaves lately – your post make me ready to go back to life without one! ( : But our trailer will not be the place where I will do that – we do have a microwave in it – are you surprised? It has everything else eh? So funny that you called it a ‘rockin’ trailer – I think so too but its all a matter of perspective – that’s the kind of comment you would only hear from one travel trailer family to another eh? LOL
I love french press coffee – my brother makes it that way with coffee from Ethiopia that he roasts himself – talk about fabulously rich coffee – oh and in Ethiopia they love coffee and grow it abundantly – the bean is actually the pit of a coffee cherry plant! Anyways they sweeten it with milk and honey – yum!

Kathleen, I’m smelling popcorn in my future. Must buy popping corn.

Mmmmm, I love real stovetop popcorn! Our microwave died a couple of weeks ago and I’m not missing it at all. I’m not sure if I’ll replace it or not. We’ll see how long we can hold out.
