Warm food, warm heart

OK, I admit it: I microwave ice cream.

It started when I had a particularly sensitive tooth. I nuked a small dish of ice cream, just enough to turn it into a pile of glop I didn't have to bite into to consume.

I never looked back.

I microwave cereal, too. Blame it on that tooth. Despite being one-fourth German, I don't like to start the day with cold food.

German breakfast, as I experienced it the first time I visited some relatives there, is apt to consist of cold cuts and cold slices of cheese. Yum.

When one of my relatives visited the U.S., he had just two complaints: how quickly "the dollars" disappear, and all that warm food Americans serve for breakfast.

Microwaved cold cuts, anyone?
