I bought a food product that I cannot find locally any longer. For dog's years, I have prepared this item using the microwave, which admittedly, is a less well-known way of doing it--but perfectly legit. The original, well-known manufacturer's version had the less-known microwave version method on the side of the box. Said manufacturer appears to have d/c'ed (discontinued) it, so I ended up getting a tub of it, made elsewhere, that is allegedly the same and uses the SAME recipe for the "regular way" to prepare the foodstuff, right? The non-microwave way.

The recipe involves a fair amount of other things--3 cups of milk, eggs, yadda. I'm a bit hesitant to risk the other ingredients--a few of which are pricey and more importantly, ALSO hard to come by--just to see if it works. (yes, yes, I could try to make 25% of it, an egg is hard to divvy up in quarters.)

So, like an idiot, I posted the question on Amazon. I specifically asked if anybody HAD MADE the stuff using a mw method. Yes, I knew that I ran this risk, but....

What sort of answers do I get? "No, I've never used the m/w method, but you could try it."

NO Frakking S**T, you moron!

I mean, who thinks that's an answer? What, I'm so stoopid that it never occurred to me to just TRY it?

I didn't ask, "gosh, duh, do you think I can try to do this?" No, I specifically asked if they HAD. Not guesses, not stupid ideas, not some suggestion that I follow this other recipe that used to be on the box, 20 years ago, (which doesn't use the microwave, mind you). How the blankety-blank is that helpful?

UGHGHGHGH!
