Microwave delight!

Tonight, for the first time in almost five years, I was able to successfully cook microwave popcorn. And it was delicious! The past 4 and a half years at the Farm I haven't been able to enjoy the taste of freshly popped popcorn, and it has been sorely missed. For some reason, that ancient microwave we had could not get it right. If you cooked it too short, nothing popped, but if you tried for longer, it all just burnt. Power level did not seem to make a bit of difference. I finally just gave up. But now, I finally have a microwave from this decade (maybe even just my lifetime), and finally once again, within a mere 90 seconds, I can have a bag of steaming popcorn. Mmmm...it's the simple things :-)

kettle corn? that stuff is the best.

speaking of making popcorn, there is only one true method of making popcorn, and that is on the stove. i say this, however, without ever having made it on the stove. master that, though, and you will have entered a zen-state similar to that of understanding the sound of one hand clapping or of balancing on just one little toe.
