Well, tonight I got a packet of minced lamb out of the freezer, put it in the microwave to defrost - 2 sessions with a 10 minute rest in the middle.
I made myself some coffee with milk, and went to put it in the microwave
So I took the mince out after its first zap and heated the coffee, put the mince back for a 10minute wait, then 3 minute zap.
Went to deal with e-mails and drink coffee.
Bang!
I had put the mince on for a 10 minute full power zap and the packet had popped and the mince was half cooked and liquid was everywhere. So I took the turntable out thinking I would fry it off quickly to finish the cooking, then put some leeks in that needed using up. So I heated the pan and put in some olive oil. Only it was a bit thin and brown
and smelt of .........marsala left over from Christmas.
So I put the hot marsala in a cup and thought about drinking it or putting it in my coffee
Have fried off the mince with leeks, carrots and garlic and put the marsala back in to see if it helps the mince get over its bad start
Put some potatoes on the top and it is in the oven.
Hotpot?
