Our random series of “How’s Your Housework Going?” hasn’t had an entry for a long time. That doesn’t mean my male method of tackling housework has been without concerns. Some things take time to learn.

For example I don’t know how I could live without the microwave. Although it is primarily used for warming things, only rarely is it used for cooking.

Thank goodness, for most of us guys anyway, thank goodness the modern electronics allows pre-programmed functions. With an array of buttons such as Popcorn, Frozen Dinner, Fresh Vegetable, Auto Defrost, Diet Cook and Potato, food preparation should be easy.

Now I understand the Frozen Dinner button isn’t going to freeze my dinner. And the Fresh Vegetable button isn’t going to make my old shrivelled vegetables fresh again.

I can’t quite figure out the Potato button. I love baked potatoes. I often pop one in the microwave, hit the Potato button and off it goes – for awhile. Then the display flashes “Turn Over.”

I’ve turned over once, I’ve turned over half a dozen times. Nothing happens. I still have to push start again, and the potato is hard on one side, soft as silk on the other. And it didn’t tell me whether to lay down before I turn over or anything.

Maybe next time I will push that Diet Cook button. When that dude appears I will let him cook the potato.
