I can’t believe microwaves are so expensive in Europe. Here in Australia you can get one for less than 30 EUR equivalent! Maybe you meant a freestanding cooktop & oven ?

Maybe we charge extra for their possible mutagenic capabilities

Wow! A gamma ray setting on a microwave? Europe is the coolest! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

We are very pleased to inform you that so far 3.000,- € have been donated for our kitchen and bathroom. That will at least enable us to have a shower and get our food warm—and probably to have some light to see what we are doing! :grin:

Thanks so much to everybody who has made a contribution, big or small. May you all grow in Dhamma (BIG of course, not small!) :dharmawheel::bodhileaf::lotus:
