Thank you to DRs Laura and Mike for the anniversary wishes!
On our way to dinner we stopped at Best Buy for a new microwave. I'd planned to buy one after Christmas, but then Mom decided to give hers up. It was at least 5 years old (maybe more) and not very powerful. I had my suspicions about it last weekend when I tried a bag of microwave popcorn and only about half of it popped. Then Wednesday, when I was making the Samoas, I started to melt the chocolate and the 'wave went KA-BLOOEY! Oh, well, Mom never needs to know...
