When Dave Winer wrote about his recent trip to Utopia Bagels, I decided to take a look at Portland and Salem (Oregon) to see if there were any bagel shops of note, and found this Eater.com list of Portland shops, and one shop in Salem. Yummy times ahead!

Are microwave-safe dishes really safe?
I was heating up a Lean Cuisine dinner today, and part of the “dish” melted in the microwave. Now, I did not quite follow the instructions, which were to heat for 3.5 minutes, then stir, then heat for 1.5 minutes more (I just went for 5 minutes – I have cut back on that rigid following of instructions). It looks like there was some fluid trapped by the food, and the heating of that fluid resulted in the melting of the plastic dish. This is the first time this has happened to me – could be just a fluke – but made me wonder if I should be more careful in the future. Thoughts, anyone?
