In the 1960's, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, began implementing the new, modern way to prepare food faster - microwave cooking. It was a great time-saver and aided greatly in food preparation times for busy NASA facilities. Here is a screen capture from a documentary film released by NASA on the topic, and I found it over on the Internet Archive. They've got lots of fascinating films of historical interest.
As a kid, anything to do with NASA and our space program fascinated me. And it still does to this day, that's why I added these images to my photostream.

Took a stab at this recipe for a single-serving MICROWAVE cake, despite my skepticism!
It took about 75 seconds in my microwave, not the 30-40 dictated in the recipe -- all microwaves are different, so this wasn't too surprising.
It also tasted a bit "off," which I assume was due to my sloppy measuring. I mean, it was my usual style of measuring, but when you're working with such small quantities, precision really matters. It tasted good, but there was an aftertaste that suggested the baking-powder ratio was a little high. So I'll be more careful next time.
Cake was removed from mug in mostly one piece, with the top sticking to the bottom of the mug. Not surprising. What resulted was an ugly little cake with a weird aftertaste, but I'll try to make it again some time, and do a better job measuring ingredients. Mostly I can't believe it worked.

After watching an episode of "Ham on the Street," in which the host/chef made chicken curry in the microwave, I was inspired to duplicate the recipe. Although I had a few false starts (I burned the chili paste in the microwave, for example) and I eliminated some ingredients, the dish came out surprisingly tasty, especially considering that it doesn't look so great. I substituted Indian chili paste with Thai chili paste, so it has a Thai red curry taste. The next time I make this, I'd cut down on the coconut milk and pump up the chili paste. It's no vindaloo, but it was my lunch and dinner for the next three days.
