Cream Horns (AKA Lady Locks)
Sqwertz
from the fridge section of bakery where Rich's can usually be found (I
guess they dropped the "Rich's from the freezer" slogan).
No such luck. Creme horns were right next to that empty space. So I got
those for nostalgic reasons. Yep - I remember these from 20 years ago:
Even after they came back to room temp they had that same stale pasty
texture and waxy-feeling filling. Deja-vu.
Then I put the last half in the microwave for 6-8 seconds and presto! Now
here's a cream horn worth buying more often. Nuking a cream horn for 11
seconds (@ 800 watts) just until the fatty filling barely starts to melt
is the absolute only way to eat a cream horn (it can still be messy). I
know this because I experimented with all four of them that night. This
was after eating 2 lobsters for dinner.
This morning I went to use the microwave for the first time since that
fateful Wednesday night and I remembered that 20 seconds was way too long
for Cream Horn #2 - it literally exploded out both ends onto the sides of
the microwave. And I didn't feel like cleaning it up at the time. And
that deceptively creamy filling turns into a rock after microwaving and
sitting for 5 days.

Oh no, he's a long way from there. Maybe the first sign
of symptoms, but nowhere close to full-blown Andyism.
There's still hope, if it can be caught early.

Tip for microwave cleaning to get dried stuff off:
Nuke a coffee cup full of water for 3 to 5 minutes so it's boiling well
for a bit. This "steams" off anything dried and crusted on the microwave
walls and ceiling so most of it just wipes off.
I have to use this trick on the break room microwave at work all the
time as I work with a bunch of slobs.
I and dad both keep the microwave at home immaculate and NEVER let stuff
dry on!
As for good pastries Steve, hit the bakery at South Central Market...
The Cream Puffs are to die for and so are the Nutella filled cupcakes!
I eat very few sweets so will splurge for the "good stuff" when I do
indulge. ;-d

What a fine idea! I don't normally blow things up in the microwave, but
I did last week. I decided to finally try nuking an egg in a ramekin per
inspiration from this group. I should know the wattage, but the
microwave is about twenty five years old, and I misplaced all the
paperwork, and frankly, I don't care. I cracked the egg into the ramekin
and nuked it uncovered for a minute on high. About a fifth of the egg
blew out at around 55 seconds, but what was left was acceptable. The
inside of the microwave was not.
Fortunately, I cleaned it with a damp cloth right then. Protein makes
dandy glue, doesn't it? At any rate, I've adjusted and my eggs are
approaching over easy and fit perfectly on an English muffin.
But I'd knocked back a few (KBAF), and really would have liked to wait
until morning before cleaning the microwave while watching what was left
of the egg chill out.

Andy, the whole world is against you. And do you know why?
It's because you're named "Andy". We hate people named Andy.

My best friend in grade school was named Andrew. No one *ever* called him
"Andy".

I think you mean piercing the air cell, which is at
the blunt end of the egg. Just tapping that end on
a hard surface to crack the shell is sufficient.
Wayne Boatwright
No, I think he means what he said. If you're cooking an egg in a ramekin or
custard cup in the microwave, it's already out of the shell. The yolk must be
pierced to prevent it from exploding. There is enough of, for want of a
better word, a membrane enclosing the yolk for pressure to build up.
