This morning the microwave door wouldn't stay closed. It's less than three years old. First we looked on the internet and read a broken spring mechanism in the door latch is a common problem with a Samsung microwave. We called a repair person and they said they didn't work on Samsung appliances because they were too complicated and prone to breaking. We called another repair person who said it would cost one hundred sixty dollars to fix it. We looked on the internet again and found out the part is less then three dollars. On an appliance repair forum Gary read he could drill a hole in the plastic part which holds the latch and reattach the spring. Five minutes later our microwave was fixed. If you need your microwave door latch fixed Gary is willing to fix it for a small fee, much less than one hundred sixty dollars.
Above is some citrus shrimp we had the other day. For a vegetarian meal you can also make citrus vegetables. Saute the vegetables of your choice. I used shallots, ginger, mushrooms, celery, red bell pepper, and carrots. When the vegetables are soft (remove and saute shrimp and then add the vegetables back in and then) add the juice of one grapefruit (or juice of two oranges) to which you've added one tablespoon of cornstarch and one teaspoon of brown sugar. Stir over medium heat till thick. Just before serving I added half a cup of chopped cilantro. I served the citrus shrimp over rice. Oh so good. Our tender plants are covered because a hard freeze is expected tonight and tomorrow night. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
