Toasty. MMmm.

Do you recall a few years ago when there was a short-lived fad promoting cooking on your automobile’s engine block while you were taking a long drive? If you triple-wrapped your food in heavy-duty aluminum foil, when you stopped 150 miles from home, you’d have piping-hot beef stew, or baked chicken, or poached eggs, or whatever. Well, I’ve just seen the computer geek equivalent. While working diligently at the BigLawFirm this morning, I noticed someone taking his sandwich out of his lunch bag, and placing it – still in its plastic sandwich bag – on top of the heat vents on top of his monitor, and then putting an insulating layer of papers on top of the sandwich. About an hour later, he retrieved his sandwich and ate it, presumably now nice and warm and with the cheese melted.

Personally, I use the microwave. But maybe that’s just me.
