A bit about our microwave!

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Home/reno| Publishing/writing/career stuff

I KNOW. It’s an odd topic to write about, isn’t it? But our microwave is new and nifty and if you’ve been following the Fishbowl Reno series and/or are interested in kitchen-related gadgets you may find it interesting. You can read it over on the Used Everywhere blog right here. THERE IS VIDEO TOO. I’m not EVEN KIDDING. I’ve turned into an appliance nerd!

That’s a HUGE microwave. Very clever how you placed it directly on the floor and use it as an island. It even has a wine rack! Sweet.

I love that microwave and the placement of it! We have an over the stove kind and I’m not a huge fan. It’s the ONE thing I would change in my kitchen. I find it gets in the way of my stovetop cooking on occasion (like if I have stuff on the backburner, I can’t lean over to fully see in the pot because I would bang my head on the microwave).

The Obligatory Blurb

Thank you for visiting! My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our two daughters Emma (14) and Sarah (12). I've been blogging since 1999, which makes me either a total dinosaur or a veteran of the Canadian blog scene, I'm not sure which! The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I am the Managing Editor of Capital Parent Newspaper but also make my living doing a bunch of other fun things. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, family travel, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa for parents and kids. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you'd like to contact me, please use this form. If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

My latest post over at the MediaSmarts blog came about because I found myself having THE TALK with the girls recently. It's not THE talk you're thinking about. No, the birds and bees were covered years ago. This is the "don't upload anything stupid" to the Internet talk. Sigh. As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
