Tuesday Night

Dinner was leftover chicken from our favorite restaurant in town, and the delicious roasted potatoes and carrots that Chef Z had made for dinner tonight. The chicken, since it had been bathed in butter, was moist and delicious, if a little greasy, after my standard 1 ½ minutes. The potatoes came out tender, though not crisp as they had been and the carrots actually came out sweet if slightly squishy. I will admit that I dipped the potatoes in Ketchup, but that is because I’m addicted to sauces, dips, etc.

This “lunch” as I call my night time work meals, was cooked in a small rectangular Pyrex dish, which I have found reheats the food better than the standard plastic. Just mentioning this because I have found that what you heat something in does apply to how much microwaving it needs! I would definitely like to have it again

Ending Score: Chicken ♥♥♥ Carrots/Potatoes ♥♥♥

Wednesday Night

Tonight I’m having the leftovers from yesterday, consisting of the Lamb Loin Chop (originally Medium-Rare) and the Carrot/Potato medley. The lamb came out Medium after the 1 ½ minute treatment which was surprising. I can think of few things worse than tough microwaved pieces of meat. Blech. The downside, chewing on a bone to get the meat at my desk (I’m that kind of classy) made for a messy working environment and a paper towel run. The medley was the same, if not a bit more flavorful since it had time to sit in the fridge as I discovered when I tried it with out any extra sauces.

Lunch was cooked in a medium size round Pyrex dish.

Ending Score: Lamb Loin Chop ♥♥♥ ½ Carrots/Potatoes ♥♥♥ ½
