i go through these phases when I’m addicted to a certain food. Last month is was tuna… and we ALL remember the fruit cup phase. but man oh man… i can tear UP a fruit and yogurt parfait from mcdonalds, man. that granola is somethin ‘else. i could prolly eat ‘em all day long, if i wasn’t so lactose intolerant. one serving i’m good, but two? it can get a little gassy up in thurr. so i went on the website to check the nutritional information and I get all excited. Only 160 calories and 2 grams of fat? Hot damn! I could eat this all day for real! But you know those bastards at WacDonalds, always tryin’ to fool a sistah with happy radio jingles (”I’m lovin’ it!”) and big smiles. Turns out that was for the “Snack” size. I only found that out because I went to nutritiondata.com and got the lowdown. There, they tell you there are TWO sizes - snack and regular. You know th WacDonalds site didn’t say whether it was regular or snack size. lying bastids… Regular ain’t no damn 160 calories. Try 380. Which is still okay, for what it is… but dang. I was all excited when i thought they were 160! hmph.
our microwave is broken at home, and for me, you might as well shout out “Armageddon!” ’cause that shit is like the end of the world for me. i’m hungry as all get out last night, tryin’ to heat up some leftovers in the microwave so i can eat it with some hot fresh rice my moms made (mmm, mmm!!!). The only button that was working was “Clear/Stop”. Oh hell. I’m punching in times, hittin the “Popcorn” and “Thaw” buttons…I hit the little Reset/Test buttons on the outlet…just going crazy. How is we gon’ eat without the microwave? What you want me to do? Use the stove? Please…! But that’s what a sista had to do 
So I asked my mom about the microwave and she was like “Why you think I made fresh rice? I had leftover I wanted to heat up but the microwave wasn’t working.” Man oh man, you don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone. You may think I’m crazy, but you unplug your microwave for a day and try to do without. I was like “I’ll be right back, I’m goingn to work to use the microwave…” lol It’s no joke. Appreciate your microwave!… and everything else you take advantage of on the daily basis.

I feel ya Holly. I remember my first apartment - micrwave not included. When was the last time you’ve made cream of weat on the stove. How primitive. The stove is like dial-up.
