German, please don't eat in McDonalds!! if you value your health!! In the UK you can buy prepared pasta dishes like spaghetti bolognese that cook in about 4 minutes in microwave. I often take a large potato and cook it in its skin for about 12 minutes in microwave then cut open and put in filling such as butter, cheese or whatever you like. This is easy to do, nourishing with plenty of fibre.

German,
I would recommend that you cook a lot of pasta at home, enough for several meals, and then put individual servings into microwaveable containers with sauce or veggies or whatever you like. bring one with you to work, stick it into the microwave for a few minutes and you are good to go. It's really cheap and easy.

Paul,

This is a true story that ocoured at Norton AFB, CA. when I was stationed there just prior to its closure!

I was a C141 Flightline Crew Chief in the AGS squadron. We shared the same hangar space and worked with our counterpart EMS Squadron. Anyhow, each squadron had its own snack bar, the proceeds being used for barrack improvments, squadron parties, MWR, etc.

Anyhow, a young Airman from the EMS Squadron was pulling his squadrons snack bar detail. He was supposed to have locked up and gone to lunch during his break. Well, one of the CMSGTs had to get into that locked EMS snackbar for something. Well, that Airman was in the snack bar. Guess what the Chief cought him doing with frozen hot dogs! ........Well, that EMS snackbar lost just a little business, everyone always teased the Chief about the situation, and the Airman was Courts Martialed !

Yeah, Mark. We eat alot of them around here..... j/k

Actually, the owner thought of buying me a case of them, since he doesn't make any money because I eat them all as soon as they get warmed up on the weenie roller. Then, there is no weenies for the customers.

Paul, did you ever cook hotdogs by just electrocuting them (stick a wire in each end and plug it into the wall?) I used to do that when trapped in a booth all day in those days when microwaves were still a bit to expensive to have for a booth. Sometimes, if you didn't put a slit in them, they would explode.

Will, when I was running an electronic shop in the USN on board an aircraft carrier, some of my crew filled condoms with water and put them in a freezer. I opened the door once and saw them. I asked one of the guys what those were, and the reply was, "Didn't you ever hear of a ****sickle, Chief?"

I Immediately left the shop and proceeded to the CPO mess to have a cup of coffee where I was muttering to myself about my crew having too much time on their hands.

I see Brad picked up on this, too. I just LMAO when I caught the title above the picture. I am still laughing. Thanks, Brad. I needed a good laugh today.

John, we have one of those weenie roller heaters, but when we have a cold weenie, we stuff it in the microwave for about 30 seconds.....any longer than that, they look gross...

I never electrocuted them, but that method has its merits.

Was once at a food related trade show. Some guy had invented a machine to cook hamburgers in 5 seconds! (Imagine being able to offer your customers fresh cooked hamburgers in 5 seconds, was the schtick.) I offered to try one (and was immediately consumed by the dread that I was about to die by eating uncooked hamburger). Yep, it was a little "grill" and they electrocuted it. He plops down a bit of ground beef and - Zzztt! Tasted alright really. Still convinced I would die, I didn't buy one....

Youll only damage the equipment if you spill something on it and dont wash your hands after you eat.
If you throw your stuff away, clean the table, and wash your hands, itll be ok.
The only problem is some people dont know how to do that.

Ideally, food, drink, and smokes should be kept OUT of the projection room.

Practically, keep it away from film handling areas or sound/electronic/computer equipment to avoid the risk of a spill, crumbs, or grease getting on the film or equipment. Wash and dry your hands after eating or smoking, and before handling film.

Smoking and/or cooking in the projection room can put tars and oils into the air that will coat optics and port glass with scum that degrades performance.
