Back then microwaves were fairly new and early on I knew that there was one thing I was going to buy with my very own money. Well, I did and I bought a really nice one too. Needless to say, it was huge compared to the tiny ones they have now. It auto defrosted and had preset buttons for thawing and cooking your meats and veggies. It was top of the line - at least for a newbie like me. I've kept that very same microwave all these years. When we moved to our current home the previous owners left their old microwave so I used it and put mine in the basement kitchen where it got almost no use. Last night the upstairs microwave bit the dust and we brought up the old gal. She's awesome!! I simply love her. In truth, I don't use a microwave all that much anymore. I sometimes melt butter or heat water, sometimes thaw a little something or give it a quick reheat. Other than that, I rarely use it - but it just felt right having the old girl back in the kitchen!!
Want a good laugh? Back in approximately 1985, when my youngest went to school, I was nearly going out of my mind. After 11 years of not working outside the home, and trying so hard to be a good stay-at-home mom, I felt I needed to go back into the workforce. I loved working at the law office, meeting people and also contributing economically to the family. I became a much better person.

AuthorMy name is Nina. Southern Indiana has been my home since 1952. I've been a legal secretary most of my adult life and for my leisure time I enjoy everything connected to the world of herbs and cooking is almost like a "fever". I am also quite opinionated but try not to push my opinions on others. My family is grown and I'm left with a wonderful hubby sharing life with me. I'd guess you'd say my passion is living that life to the fullest. Archives
