Microwave delivered!

First of all, the Austrian living is a bit more challenging than the previous countries.

We are living in a very small space, the best way to describe it is as a dorm, (Mike refers to it as a "Cracker Box".) The dorm's kitchen came with a small toaster oven, 2 heating surfaces and a pot. This is the challenge; cook for 3 (Mike counts as 2 people) with that.

We bought a big pan and miscellaneous other items to compliment the kitchen best we can and we have been getting by just fine. Unfortunately, there are some favorite dishes that we are unable to cook under these circumstances. And some sides aren't always kept hot while waiting for the entire meal to be ready. Also, last week while at the supermarket we spotted popcorn and put it in the cart. When we got to the checkout, I realized we don't have a microwave so would be unable to eat it and had to put it back. :(

However today...SURPRISE! Mike came home with a microwave!

When recently talking to the other guys on the team, they said they asked for a microwave and the team delivered. So Mike did the same, and we got a brand new one a week later! So...tonight all of our food was hot for supper. And later tonight we are having a popcorn snack! Super excited! :)
