On Sunday morning, as I was *trying* to cook bacon for breakfast, our microwave unceremoniously died. At first I thought we were just running too many appliances at once (toaster and griddle were both going, too), but after flipping the fuse and restarting the bacon, the microwave just gave up.

Finished frying the bacon in a pan on the stove (how novel), and pondered life without a microwave.
