ellenkushnerBecause who doesn't love a good kitchen disaster story?
1) Take a jar of extremely aged Trader Joe's Ginger Jam, with just a little crystallized stuff left on the bottom it would be a shame to waste.
2) Place in Microwave.
3) Set on AutoReheat. Because it would be just so much more simple to go for :30 at 1/2 power and see if that decrystallized it enough to spread on nearby English Muffin. But that would involve pressing so many more buttons. And, hey; "Reheat" might work! It's Auto, ain't it?
4) Wait far more than :30.
5) Open Microwave Door.
6) Inhale clouds of gingery fumes exuding therefrom. Cough a lot. Watch in amazement as clouds of fumacious ginger gas continue to emerge.
7) Burn tongue on extremely dark brown almost burnt but kinda yummy caramelly sludge at bottom.
7) Wash. Rinse. Do not repeat.
