7.5 seconds till gooey, sticky mess

One of us is not supposed to be eating sweet things because one of us is currently about 40 pounds overweight and trying not to be about 40 pounds overweight.

No, it's not Mrs. Ottawacker - but I see what you mean.

This, when certain other people have gone for an early night, the quiet opening of the freezer door and silent opening of the freezer bag can all be in vain if the five shrill beeps of the microwave sound the alarm. Mrs. Ottawacker has sharp ears.

The timing has to be perfect. Just a fraction of a second before the alarm sounds, the door slides open and the muffin slides out.

Soon the secretly stashed chocolate muffin will be mine. Just got to time it right....
