Pipe SmokerMicrowaved a cookie – surprise effect
I seldom eat cookies, but bought a small bag of oatmeal raisin cookies that looked tasty. The bag proclaimed their crispiness, and I generally like crispiness, and they were that.
It occurred to me that they might be even better warmed, so I put one on a saucer and put it in the microwave for ~10s. To my great surprise, that made the cookie not only warm, but
moist and chewy! There was even a little moisture on the saucer. And, by George, it was delish.
My neighbor also likes crispy cookies but his wife likes chewy so I told him of my discovery, figuring it would promote their marital harmony.

BigJoeYea...Been doing that for a long time. Also makes stale bread tolerable, and ice cream melt quicker ;-)

FredwardAs kids growing up, we often asked, "What the hell is a microwave?" I was nearly 30 before they began retail sales to the public.

Uh, the 70's called and want you back. In other flash news, Thin Mints were just discovered to be tasty if you put them in a freezer.
And in other breaking news, Angels Flight pants just hit the market too and go great with a Member's Only jacket.
