About Jan C. Johnson

Welcome! If you like food, reading, laughing over life's little disasters, and maybe thinking about the bigger things of life, you have come to the right place. Besides blogging, I write humorous fiction, though real life tends to leave fictional humor in the shade. But I'm not a total goofball. No, really. I've also written a most riveting memoir--not mine, which would be boring, but rather the life story of an obscure pastor in Liberia, West Africa. His hair-raising memories of the Liberian Civil War years make for some suspenseful reading! Discover more under the "My Books" tab. I live in North Texas with my husband, Brent. We enjoy bicycling, Mexican food, and traveling to visit our kids and grandkids.

Uppity Appliances

Posted on December 17, 2010 by Jan C. Johnson

I might as well admit it right now: I often find myself talking to my microwave. And in none-too-friendly tones, either. Let’s review: a microwave oven is a machine, right? You set it for a certain amount of time, it … Continue reading →
