Peas In Deutschland

P has moved to Germany! This is a place to share with loved ones the pleasures, frustrations, and photographs of my adventures, leavened by talk of meals eaten and drinks drunk.

Stymied by the Microwave

Instead of an oven, we've got this microwave that, we are told, has toaster oven features. The cryptic dial in the center with six inscrutable symbols totally got the best of me. Click on the photo to enlarge it - the rightmost three settings are especially baffling!

Here's my guess from left to right: microwave only; microwave and heat from above; microwave and heat from below; heat from above only; heat from below only; heat from above and below. Sanjeevi has the same kind of kitchen outfit in Paris. I don't really understand the lack of oven. Hope the next fridge is East German :).

The market sounds nice. I tried to find one in Edinburgh the other day, but failed completely! (Although it has a website, so I'm pretty sure it exists.)

Greetings from Austin! My favorite: it's the pizza pac-man symbol eating the giant wedge of cheese near the top.

Marianna and I just moved into a new apartment. The kitchen layout is very nice, but our appliances are pretty ancient. Our microwave has one of those big rectangular buttons that makes a satisfying ka-Chunk when you open the door. I'm slightly scared of it.

6 years of Engineering school did not prepare me for such a schematic.

However my guess is the same as David's.

When you press the pizza wedge does that open the door?
