I had cooked up a sirloin steak the day
before but had not eaten all of it, sooo the next day I exhumed what had become a
piece of cold and gray looking meat from the fridge. I held it up to
my bloodshot eyes for a closer inspection and then sighed. It was a
Sunday morning, I was hungover and not even Portnoy would have found
this cold slab of beef very interesting...
I had to face facts! Resurrecting a day old sirloin
would more than likely tax even the most powerful priest. I looked
again at that listless piece of beef. There was absolutely none of
the 'moist tenderness' that I had enjoyed just 24 hours before.

| The day before! |
Well, never you mind, I thought
sourly. I tossed the meat onto a plate and placed it into my
microwave. (Even if I had little hope of a holy beef redemption, I
felt I could at least heat that sucker up a little).
That done, I then focused on the three
other breakfast courses; an egg, 1/2 baked potato (baked the day before) and a piece of bread, that was soon to be
toast! Since I was using a convection cooking top, I knew from past
experience that the egg and toast would cook about the same time (4 min). I set the
Duxtop Induction unit to level two, sprayed a bit of Pam into a
stainless steel frying pan and then added the egg (sunny side up)
with a dash of water. This was covered with a lid and I then moved over to the
toaster and nonchalantly sent my Lilly white slice of bread and brown slab of meat into my convection oven where it could both toast my brad and reheat my steak.The potato was nuked in the microwave for a couple of minutes.
A couple minutes later, I nuked the
steak remnant on high for about 80 seconds. (Just enough to
warm it without drying it even more than it already was). I then
assembled the meal you see above.
Epilogue: Why did I even post this nonsense?
Well, my doctor told me that writing about stuff that no one would be
interested in would help me come to better terms with my useless
existence. And, you know what? It helped!
