It was late 1980 and the thing was huge, about 30" across and deep. She actually took a microwave cooking class at the local community college. Chuckle. Then she decided she would make the entire traditional Thanksgiving dinner in the wave: turkey, stuffing, yams, etc. You can imagine how that turned out. An unevenly cooked turkey with no color, stuffing that was burned on the edge and raw in the middle, and the marshmallow yam topping stuck all over the inside of the wave. Ah, those were the days.
