Tupperware as in the real deal. I can microwave a cake in 10 minutes. With diet coke even. One box of cake mix plus one can of soda into the tupperware for 10 minutes in the microwave and voila you have cake.
I can't stand the wimpy little plastic containers you buy at the store. They aren't microwaveable even when they say they are. They stain super easily. They're so flimsy. They're only good for sending leftovers home with people when you don't want to worry about getting your container back.
But they have the perfect container for everything. Pantry stuff. Fridge stuff. OAMC (once-a-month-cooking). Kids' stuff. A container to keep your sandwich from getting smooshed on the way to work/school. A container to keep the freezerburn off your ice cream. A pitcher/tumbler/serving bowl set that is plastic but looks like crystal.
I cook my ground beef in the microwave and my Tupperware drains all the grease out of it as it cooks. (the aftermath looks so gross you'll never pan-fry it again.)
You name it they probably have a piece of Tupperware for it. I had to become a Tupperware consultant just so I could get a discount. I'm really that bad.
That brings me to another addiction... the MICROWAVE!!!
I'd probably starve without it. I can live without an oven or stove if I had to, but I have to have a microwave.
Red velvet cake ice cream with brownie mix-ins at Maggie Moo's.
Sounds all too decadent.
Damn, I just got a cup of yogurt. Wah!

perfume/fragrance.
My ex had a fetish like that too. My eyes would start burning and watering the moment I got home. She had air spray, air wicks, plug-ins, poupurri, had had it all going.

What, is this part of some new marketing campaign by Tupperware. They pay people to go and post on internet boards touting the wonders of the product? I'm on to you....

Sigh...I guess we are just not meant for each other after all. If your eyes are burning and watering from her perfume...she isn't wearing good perfume. Plus, potpourri and air fresheners are gross.

You might want to look for the article on T-Nation about plastics and Xenoestrogens (I think it was Xenoestrogens, I'll have to look it back up).

No, we are not. You live East of the lake, I live West. My city is the top drunkest, yours is the top most dangerous. A volatile mix if ever there was one.

FWIW, I store in plastic containers, but I don't heat in them.
wow i had never heard of nay of that. the first thing that pops in my head is diet coke bottles are one of the soft plastics that dude was talking about. so do the contents have to be heated for this to be a problem or is it also true of cold/room temp plastics? i mean obviously he is saying its worse for heated but is there evidence for nonheated? and he mentions canned vegetables, would that also apply to things like canned soup? its a bit worrisome considering i store everything in plastic and usually heat and eat in plastic bc i am always ina hurry.
i am starting to see a trend. being in a hurry all the time is very bad for your health. not just psychologically but nutritionally.

Partying with my friends is also a guilty pleasure that I can't enjoy nearly as much as I would like to anymore. In fact my girlfriend is giving me some minor flack because I am not hitting the bars with her this evening.

ok, so this is the first time i have seen anyone make a correlation between cooking prowess and masculinity. but somehow i don't think it will be the last.
btw mark 57 i like your avatar. but do you actually know what nascar stands for? its an acronym for non-athletic sport centered around rednecks.
