I ran out of microwave popcorn bags a while ago. Rats. I really love popcorn. Seriously, I think I have a problem. No day is so bad that a beer and a bag of popcorn can’t erase it from your memory. Anyway, I discovered that I had a jar of actual popcorn that we used this summer in school. Did you know that you can throw a palmful or two in a lunch sack, fold it up tight, and microwave it as-is? Just take it out when the pops start slowing down, just like the other kind. The beauty of this is that I can slather it with butter (a reasonable slather – I’m not crazy), and feel good about putting actual butter in my gut, not some unpronounceable crazy fat. Yum!
I’ve used this bag eight times. I’m going for a record.
You should put a stick of butter in the bag with the popcorn while you’re cooking it. That way it would come out pre-buttered. Or it would come out on fire. Either way would be cool.
Mmmmmmm…..smokey, buttery popcorn……
Deanne, the bowl says, “Mmmmmm…. more popcorn please!” I think I should modify it. 🙂
What does the bowl say under the popcorn? “Nothing so nice as a beer & a bag of popcorn.” ?
I didn’t know that! I will most definately try this. But do the kernels pop nicely, ’cause I hate kernely popcorn.
But my drug of choice for a bad day is milk & donuts or Tastykakes!!!
They do pop nicely, though it’s some weird store brand. I cut a little slit in the bag to let steam out. I don’t like soggy popcorn. (I also have a strange way of eating it, but that would expose my soul too much.)
Do you eat off the little pieces that stick out first & then eat the big puff last?
Yes!!! You too?
I do … no kidding! You?
I can make a bowl of popcorn last a LONG time, and I save the biggest pieces for last. It’s like a ritual.
Crazy people.
Have you tried licking the inside of the bag when you are finished. I’m thinking Brad might like a report on that aspect of your invention.
Which side up?
