The new microwave


In a previous post, I promised to post pictures of our new over-the-range microwave. Here it is. We are really happy with it. It's a new Advantium microwave that doubles as a convection oven. It also does something called "speedcooking." To make along story short, it cooks food in the time it would take to microwave it, but makes it taste oven-baked. Not bad or a couple hundred dollars extra. I'm pretty sure that our kitchen is the only one in the country with an Advantium but no dishwasher. Hopefully we will remedy that sometime soon.

So now the old freestanding microwave belongs to our tenant, Mosheh, and we've reclaimed the part of the kitchen sink where it used to sit. I have to admit that I'm quite proud of the construction job I did here. After removing the microwave shelf, I had to patch the wall and drill holes for the CD player. The drilling wasn't so easy because our cabinets are particle board and my drill is pretty basic. It took up 3 of Adam's nap's to get it done, but I love being able to cook to the tune of Tchaikovsky.
