Sander Katz has a book called “The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved” which holds up the microwave as the prime example of what is wrong with modern eating.
I suggest looking into cooking with cast iron skillets. There are tons of great and simple foods you can make with couple of inexpensive cast iron pans. There used to be a cast iron cookery subreddit. There may be one here, I haven’t looked yet.
Another essential is a good wok. (cast iron or otherwise) Basically you throw a bunch of semi-random stuff and some sauce iron seasoning in a wok and heat it up. The variations are endless, quick, and often tasty once you get the hang of it.
You know how Trump likes to project? First the whole birth certificate thing, and now this. I’m becoming increasingly convinced he is an illegal immigrant.
