Bed and Breakfast Tales - 6

We had two girls for the night; on holiday around the UK all the way from Texas and South Carolina.  Just the one night - but what fun when people want to talk and laugh.  One of them described her mother, who had brought up children of her own, and often fed other members of her family cooking on two microwaves.  I couldn't quite get my head round this at all - no cooker?  family meals?  Yup!  She was so frightened of gas and electricity as cooking mediums that she just used the microwaves.... and her daughter has no idea about cooking at all and so will carry the microwave tradition (and had to Google how to boil water when she left home for college........ yes, honestly).
