Good evening and welcome  [:)]

We had a good thread (well, depends on your definition of good) about microwave cooking not so long ago, so your expertise may well come in useful!

No,  I just followed the instructions on a tinned pudding it said  "Pierce lid and stand in boiling water for 20 minutes".

When my computer was delivered, my wife asked me why I was running around on the packaging. Well, it did say "Tear along the dotted line".

Coronal mass ejections? That is what happens to a tray of punch cards when you knock it off the "in" shelf with your head, right?
