Automatic for the People
Because I happen to love stories about guys named Spike who like to cook, I’ll share this story from our local newspaper. By all accounts, Spike is a swell guy. All I know is that he used to keep me in door handles and CV axles for a decrepit (but much loved) Volkswagen Jetta I once owned.
I’ve been toying with the idea of cooking lunch at the office from time to time, but our kitchen appliances is limited to a coffee maker and a microwave oven. Even if I took care of most of the prep work at home and added a hot plate, it would still be a stretch. Any of you readers out there do any cooking at work?
Scott,
When I worked at a bank many years ago another employee and I cooked often when business was slow…we were in a branch bank…we had a microwave, toaster oven and a coffee maker…we would bring a crock pot of something, bake cornbread or potatoes, broast vegetables in the toaster oven, make peanut brittle in the microwave oven….once we made the mistake of pouring the hot candy out onto a formica top table sprayed with Pam…it adhered to the table and we had to literally melt the candy off.
We enjoyed being with your Mom and Dad last week while they were down south….
