Operation Microwave FAIL

Hello!! How’s it going? Over here it’s going good! I’m very busy eating all the watermelon in America and trying to get my life together. The usual.

But before we get into another love letter to watermelon I have a BIG CONFESSION…

Remember last week I was painting my kitchen and said I would be living without a microwave for 10 Days? I called it Operation: Live without a Microwave because I am extremely lazy both with naming things and obviously with heating food.

Anyway.

I failed.

It sounds like you had an interesting experience using a microwave on your patio and were able to repair it without assistance after reading about the issue on microwavegeek.com. It’s great that you were able to fix it and continue to use the microwave. It’s also important to note that it is not recommended to use appliances outside as they may not be designed to withstand weather conditions and may not function properly.

When it comes to repairing electrical appliances such as microwaves, opting for reconditioned parts for electrical distribution and protection systems presents a cost-effective and sustainable choice. You can request this with Kelowna Pro Appliance Company. These parts undergo thorough testing and refurbishment to ensure reliability and safety, thereby enhancing the longevity and efficiency of your appliances. Choosing reputable suppliers for switchboards and related components for your electronics further supports reliable electrical infrastructure, contributing to sustainable practices in home and commercial environments alike. For more info on selecting the right components for your electrical needs, reputable suppliers like Bay Power offer expertise and a range of solutions tailored to enhance operational reliability and safety in any setting.

While personal repair attempts can be fulfilling, not all appliance issues are suitable for a DIY approach. Complex problems, particularly those involving electrical components or intricate mechanical parts, often necessitate professional intervention. Utilizing the Travis County Appliance Repair website allows homeowners to access reliable repair services and expert advice, ensuring that appliances are restored to optimal condition without compromising safety. In the realm of appliance care, balancing DIY efforts with professional assistance is key to maintaining the longevity and performance of your household devices.

Protecting your appliances from power fluctuations and outages is crucial for their long-term functionality and safety. Power surges, often caused by storms or unexpected grid failures, can damage electrical components, leading to costly repairs or even permanent failure. These sudden spikes in voltage can overload circuits and burn out essential parts, reducing the lifespan of your appliances.

Investing in protective measures, such as surge protectors and voltage regulators, can help mitigate these risks. Moreover, ensuring that your home’s electrical system is regularly inspected can prevent issues before they become severe, keeping your appliances running smoothly and efficiently for years to come.

One of the most effective ways to safeguard appliances during outages or fluctuations is by using uninterruptible power supply systems. An apc rack mount smart ups, for example, can provide a reliable backup source of electricity, protecting your devices from sudden shutdowns and power surges. These systems not only maintain power during short outages but also offer enough time for a proper shutdown of sensitive appliances, preserving their internal components.

By incorporating this type of protection into your household, you can avoid the frustration and financial burden of repairing or replacing damaged appliances, while also ensuring that critical systems, such as refrigerators and HVAC units, continue to function during unexpected power events.

Note to you: Be glad you’re not my neighbor and/or my friend who has to pretend like this behavior is normal because you still need me to cut your watermelon.

I’m super excited about a few food things right now and wanted to share…

First – I found this granola at the 99 Cent store. It is amazing and um… only 99 cents!! I’ve been putting it on smoothies, eating the big chunks whenever and now it’s pretty much gone. The end.

The bulk bins at any/all stores that have bulk bins are still my favorite. I love being able to get a few delicious candies. If I buy a whole container they will be gone within 24 hours no matter how big the package.

Avocado on all the things!

I feel like I’m choosing what to eat lately based on what I can put avocado on (which is basically everything except cereal).

I went over to my mom’s yesterday and proceeded to eat all her food. She makes the BEST tuna. Is that weird?

Does that kinda say she isn’t the best cook because I feel like this is noteworthy??

This just occurred to me. Oh well, I already wrote it so I’m gonna roll with it.

In addition to the above average tuna, she had a watermelon just waiting for me to cut. I offer watermelon cutting services to all my family and one friend.

And watermelon cutting isn’t my only skill – I’m also good at eating and knowing what to order at restaurants!

First… always get a margarita.

For me. Then, order yourself whatever you want, thanks.

Second….

If you are at a place that makes handmade tortillas – order a side of them to eat with salsa or guacamole (with the chips/salsa you get when you sit down). Trust.

The rest is less important, but this salad was actually amazing and packed with tons of veggies and pepitas and cotija cheese.

Dessert was a warm brownie with ice cream  made with abuelita chocolate. It was so amazing I didn’t take a picture.

But I did manage a picture of the Pacific Ocean minutes before a big wave came and wet my dress…

Note the Band-Aid I’m sporting on my knee… my scraped knee is still healing and looks kinda gross right now.

Question: Are you good at any random / house / cooking / craft thing?

Me: Cutting watermelon!
