Empowerment Through Microwave Technology

My 'aunt' is fond of rushing people to the dinner table only to futz in the kitchen before being seated. Meanwhile, we stare at our food while it cools off, not daring to take a bite, while she . . . what? Stares idly into the cupboards, locates the perfect set of ice cubes for her water glass, sorts and arranges the spoons in the drawer, and . . . waters the plants. Why does she do this? Why why why? Oh . . . maybe it's because she's retired, it's her house, and she can do things any way she wants. Plus, she has a microwave. :)
