Preville on Politics
My new kitchen is almost complete!
Posted on June 15, 2007 by Philip Preville
And I will not be installing a microwave oven. I have made the proud choice to omit a useless appliance from my life. Apparently this very literal-minded guy in the comments thinks I’m an idiot. In deference to him I will mark the occasion with a meal of pressure-cooked meat and toast.

Veteran freelance writer Philip Preville lived much of his life in Montreal and Edmonton before he was lured, like so many Torontonians before him, by the promise of more work and a better living. A National Magazine Award winner and former Canadian Journalism Fellow at the University of Toronto’s Massey College, Preville writes Toronto Life’s politics column. He lives with his wife and one-year-old son in Riverdale, just close enough to the Don Valley Parkway that he can hear it when he steps outside his house—but just far enough away that it doesn’t keep him awake at night. On his office wall hangs a 1938–39 press pass belonging to his grandfather, Elias Gannon, who wrote for the Montreal Star.

Y'know I like you and think you're a smart guy, but the guy's right, you are an idiot if you think you won't need a microwave. There's a lot of defrosting applications that you'll be doing. And bacon in the microwave is a lot healthier and easier to cook.
