How to get the most out of your microwave...

ingredients
lg (life's good) microwave of high quality with a control for defrosting
the manual for the microwave
a frozen chunk of beef stew
some precooked rice

steps
1.turn on the microwave
2.put the frozen chunk in a plate (preferably the plate the rice will be in)
3.open the manual to the page on defrost ( i cant give the page number here as your microwave may be different)
4.follow the instructions on the manual to begin the defrost process
5.ignore the hissing sound inside the microwave, its just the juices in the stew coming up for air
the microwave depending on the price will beep to tell you its done.
6.if the microwave is high priced it will intermittently beep , if not you will have to manually peep through the window of the machine to confirm
7. take out the plate add the rice and put back in the microwave and set for 1 min
at the end take out the plate, get a fork , your meal is ready

the process takes far less time than trying to defrost by cooking over the fire. you lose valuable liquid if you try using the fire. to counter this, you could add water. though the problem here is that water will dilute the taste slightly. the system above works for frozen soup too. however, you will have to boil water separately to prepare the eba. i wont encourage trying to use the microwave to shorten the time to make the eba. i cant guarantee favorable results

so the eagles did their thing. at the last minute they turned their fortunes. it will be real nice for ghana to trash them on sunday. they should have gone home earlier. anyway, i still support the black stars. i still have my ghanaian flag at full mast.
