Back in the city. (Woo!)

I (re)learned an important life lesson today: "microwave safe" does not mean "safe to handle after microwaving." This life lesson holds true, especially, when microwaving a particularly dense organic jewel yam from Whole Foods Market.


I can only assume that "microwave safe" actually means one of three things:
1. The dish will not melt into molten lava when microwaved (though one's hands might, if one touches it without proper protection).
2. The microwave will not explode or burst into flames.
3. Any food prepared in said dish will not become radioactive after microwaving (at least, not any more than it would already from absorbing the microwave's radiation).

Pictures from the summer, coming soon.
