New Appliance For Tom...

When we moved into the house from the apartment, we lost our microwave over the stove. I loved that thing, but alas, it belonged to the apartment. We had a great little microwave, but it still took up counterspace. Then it started dying. We wanted to get another over the range ones, but couldn't afford it right then, so we got a little cheap one. OMG. Do not EVER buy a little cheap microwave. It sucked so bad... but finally, we have a new microwave.

Oh wait. I didn't tell you why it was so expensive. Tom cooks, we all know that. He cooks a lot and he's always wanted 2 stoves. But there not enough room for a wall oven or anything, so we found these convection/microwave range hoods. We ended up going for the speedcook, which is kind of the same thing, you have to use microwave safe stuff in it, but it can grill, brown, fry eggs, all kinds of stuff.

They installed it late last night.

Tom, being the manly man with a new kitchen appliance that he is... is currently grilling steak. In the kitchen. In his range hood thing-a-bob.

Here's what it looks like installed over the stove:


See the steak in there?


Oh, but to make the geek in him sing, it also has a LCD touchscreen. Seriously!


Yes, my microwave is smarter than I am.

Great.

Update: Yeah, apparently we have too much electricity in this house or something, someone printed to the printer, which is on the same circuit as the new microwave and we tripped a breaker. Nice. Tom's gonna move some stuff around.
