 RH> That's from what I've read over the years anyway.
 ML> I'll let you women do that kind of reading.
 RH> Thanks. (G)  I don't get to do too much leisure reading any more.

I've always done more purposeful reading than leisure, at least
since childhood, when I devoured the printed word from Sherlock
Holmes to Woman's Day (mostly for the recipes, but I can't count
out learning about the then-current state of the fashion industry
from looking at photos of pretty young matrons and incidentally
the accompanying text).

 RH> An accident waiting to happen, IOW.  Are there working smoke detectors

 ML> Yep, and I don't know how he's failed to set them off. He
 RH> Are you sure they're working?  Have they been tested recently?

They flash in the canonic way, and they occasionally beep from
low battery, which gets replaced if only to get rid of the
annoying noise, so I figure they're working more or less.

 RH> But get him a set of
 RH> pots and pans he can beat up on before yours get completely ruined.

It's not the outside scorch and the vaporized copper bottoms
that I object to but the greasy burned residue inside that I
have to scrub off periodically.

  microwave and turn chicken breast side up.  Brush generously with
  soy-butter mixture.  Cover with waxed paper and microcook for 15 minutes
  longer, or until fork can be inserted into leg with ease and leg moves
  freely when lifted or twisted.  Meanwhile, combine water, diced onion,
  bouillon cubes, and salt in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to
  a boil; add rice.  Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, for 20 minutes or
  until rice is done.  Remove chicken from microwave and let stand for 10
  minutes.  Reserve pan drippings.  Remove chicken meat from bones and cut
  into bite-sized pieces.  Discard skin and bones.  Mix the remaining soy
  sauce with ground pepper and pour over chicken; set aside. Combine sliced
  onion, celery, and pan drippings in a large microwave bowl. Cover and
  microcook for 2 minutes at High, stirring after 1 minute.  Add mushrooms
  and pea pods.  Microcook at high for 2 minutes longer, stirring after 1
  minute.  Add the chicken and the rice; toss to mix thoroughly. Serve hot.
