There is a restruant supply store in San Carlos (near the Caltrains
station) on Old County Road, lots of cooking stuff, open during the week
until 5 PM.

For microwave and futons check out some of the 'thrift' stores in some
of the trendier areas, good deals are to be found there.

Good luck and welcome to silicon gulch.
