Popcorn

Today I was informed by a very lazy woman that if I wanted a snack I'd have to make it myself. I filled a pot with water to make noodles, but have not yet learned the magic of making it bubble. Instead we made popcorn.
You start with a paper lunch bag. Momma said that it pops better with a drawing on your bag, but I have yet to see a study published in a reputable journal.
What does she know anyway? Her degree is in psychology.Pour in two or three tablespoons of corn. Measuring is serious business. Carefully spill some so you can vacuum later!
Fold the top of the bag over twice, getting help when you realize you don't know what "folding" is.
Place your bag in the microwave,
and press the conveniently labeled "popcorn" button.
Spend the next 2 1/2 minutes checking out how handsome you are in the shiny door!
Carefully open to let the clouds out.
I like mine with really fancy Parmesan cheese. Grate it on until Momma takes it away, then eat the cheese off the top of the popcorn.
Mom likes hers with a squirt of olive oil spray and so much pepper it makes her sneeze. Repeatedly.
Thanks for joining me today! Tune in next time when hopefully I can talk someone into some cookies!
