I'm not an adventurous cook, because I have kids that are picky eaters. My husband will eat anything and loves when I do try new and different recipes. Breakfast, pasta dishes, grilled meats & veggies. When I was first married we had a guest for dinner. I had never used a microwave (and this was one of the early models of microwaves), but thought it would be great to bake my potatoes in it. I had no clue how longn to cook them, so turned it on for way too long. The potatoes felt light when I removed them from the microwave. When my guest stuck his fork and knife into the potato to split it, it popped and deflated...there was nothing left inside.
