a confession

I didn't know how to properly microwave food until I was 28.

I would put it in for two minutes regardless of what or how much it was, and would just eat lukewarm food a good 80% of the time.

One fateful evening, I mistakenly pressed four instead of two and came rushing back after about three and a half minutes worried I had burnt the plov.

Lo and behold, it was DELICIOUS and I realized that I had been making a very basic error consistently for more than a decade.
