I don't understand. Are you all laughing at people buying phones they like?

Its just like Apple messed it all up this time - thats what I'm surprised,
iPhone6 is still pretty good it seems, but iP6+ - crappy aluminium covered gadget!

I'm not sure it is so much what they like as much as what is trendy and being pushed by the corporate machine with media's help. I honestly believe people would flock to buy a spaghetti on a stick with the right marketing and the media hyping it as the best thing since sliced bread.

I would get a iPhone over a S5 though (after HTC but that is me). I don't know where to get a spaghetti on a stick.

I'm sure the few who tried it would say that's a big fat NO! Have you ever put something metal in a microwave and heard the snap, crackle, pop? Imagine what that does to the phone's innards. Is kind of funny people tried it, although not if it was me. But being a retired electronics tech, I know better.

I haven't tried charging a phone in the microwave, but I know this recipe works.

Microwave Chocolate Brownie In A Mug In 60 seconds

This makes a delicious brownie for one in about a minute. I used a 1500 watt microwave. 60 seconds makes a molten center brownie. 75 seconds make a uniformly done brownie. Careful not to overcook.

INGREDIENTS
2 Tbs vegetable oil or softened butter
2 Tbs water
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
dash salt
4 Tbs granulated sugar
2 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
4 Tbs all purpose flour

INSTRUCTIONS
In a 12 oz coffee mug, add water, oil and vanilla. Whisk well.
Add cocoa powder, whisk well. Add sugar, whisk well. Add flour, whisk well.
Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds. Center should be slightly molten. Careful not to overcook.
Enjoy with a spoon. Careful brownie will be hot.
Great with a couple of tablespoons of vanilla ice cream.

Dang that sounds good, you set off my chocolate addiction! Will have to try it.

Wonder what would happen if you put the IPhone in the mug before placing in the microwave? Brownie with a surprise in the middle.

For regular brownies, this is the best brownie recipe I have found.
This recipe is from the back of the Ghirardelli Cocoa can.
It makes one of the best homemade brownies I've ever tasted!


Ghirardelli Award Winning Brownies

2 Eggs
3/4 cup of granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter - melted.
3/4 cup Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate & Cocoa
2/3 cup unsifted flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350-F.
Grease 8"x 8" or 9" x 9" baking pan.
In a medium bowl, stir together eggs, sugar and vanilla.
Add melted butter and mix well.
Sift ground chocolate with flour, baking powder and salt.
Stir chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and add nuts and/or
chocolate chips. Spread into prepared baking pan.
Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

If you have a digital probe thermometer (like a Thermapen) bake until
the center temperature reaches 185-F for gooey brownies, 190-F for moist brownies.

Use 8" pan for chewy brownies, use 9" pan for drier brownies.

If you like corn on the cob but don't want to have to boil a pot of water, this trick works well.

Get 3 or 4 paper towels, wet them & then wrap a corn on the cob in them (Husk removed). Put them in the microwave for about 2 minutes & you have hot cooked corn on the cob without all the fuss.

An easy way to soften and cook flour tortillas:


Rinse a flour tortilla under the kitchen faucet on both sides to moisten, for a second or two. Shake off excess moisture. Roll up in a paper towel and microwave for 8 or 10 seconds. Lay the tortilla on the paper towel and roll it so the paper towel is touching both sides of the tortilla, jelly roll fashion. A soft, dry, warm and flexible tortilla comes out of the microwave.


The trick is to just heat it enough. Each microwave is different. If heated too long, bread, tortillas, etc get chewy and rubbery in a microwave.
