lol, sorry to hear about the loss of your microwave. Can't say I can put those things down however. They're nice for a nice quick bite when you don't always have that time to cook. I know of my microwave broke, I'd probably just not eat lunch since that seems to be the only time I use it really. I think it'd be far more ridiculous if they made a mini-microwave that was backpacking(small and compact, not necessarily light). Though who knows, they already might have one out on the market, hehe.
