I'm not getting rid of my microwave either! I've had to be without one before and found out how handy it is to have.

I can remember when microwave ovens did not exist.

Me too! I remember getting my 1st microwave. Way back then, only furniture stores carried them. When I got my big old RadarRange, the store actually offered a series of cooking classes to teach us how to use one. Back then, no one really knew (and you sure didn't get instructions on packages to tell you).

I can too, and although I don't use mine often, I don't know what I would do without it. I mean, how would I reheat a cup of coffee? Put it back in the pot?

I love vegetables, and I lived without meat for many years. I just cannot imagine there being a large enough, steady supply of vegetables for even the current vegans and vegetarians in the near future.
I have had several years of bumper crops even when local farmers have had a bad season. I’ve also failed miserably at getting anything to grow for the season. I’m actually planning this coming spring as carefully as I can because I miss my vegetables! I also have been numbering the days for the two cockerels in the brooder since yesterday’s chicken noodle soup pictures.

I use a snap lock container and put a brown sugar bear into it. The bear and the air tight container keep the brown sugar fresh

I have one of those from my husbands grandmother.

I have a terra cotta rooster in my brown sugar. It works great (as long as I remember to wet it down periodically).

I like the idea of bread or potato slices, never heard those before!

Aha! That could be why it doesn't work

Where is "Coffee House" BC? Just wondering about your climate. I'm taking a break from veggie garden this year, and will take a class at a local college, "Master Gardener", hoping they can tell me how to grow a successful garden in rainy Washington. Although my garden is out in the open, I am surrounded by rain forest. I had great tomatoes one especially hot summer, but never again. That same year I had wonderful broccoli, cauliflower and peppers. Well, everything grew that year. But it has all been a failure every year since. Squash grows well, but I can only use so much of that.

Coffee House is all over in WA and NY!

I think they will come up with a synthetic way to get protein. We are sure living in strange times.

They'll be pushing bugs and soy.

Then do you have any sage advice for growing a veggie garden in rainy WA?
