Food Qualms

Pears - Shit, it is annoying how they get mushy so fast.  Pears wait for no man.

Oatmeal - I love it, but I wish it wouldn't boil over in the microwave.  This is oatmeals only major design flaw from my perspective.  If anyone can give me an inventive solution for preventing the boiling over of oatmeal, I will give him or her many hugs and kisses.
