Zephyr_Nova Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 FWP 1 - I've yet to find an optimal setting on my microwave to pop all, or nearly all, the corn kernels in my microwave popcorn bags! There are always some left unpopped and it feels like a waste. The 'Popcorn' button doesn't seem to make a difference either. Solution idea: after eating all the popped kernals, reseal the bag (staples?) with the unpopped kernals and give them a second chance in the microwave. Be sure to report back if you try this.

Be sure to report back if you try this. 2nd solution - learn to make stove-top popcorn. It's waaaaay better, way cheaper, plus - you have full control of kernel poppage and seasoning! My gf has been making kettle corn lately. That stuff is addicting! Edited October 19, 2015 by Audioblysk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caze Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 just buy regular corn kernels, and pop them in a pot with a tbsp of oil. as long as you shake the pot around a few times and don't have it on too high a temp, you'll cook every one of the bastards. also, for extra awesome flavour, melt some butter in the microwave with the following spices for 30 seconds: 1/4 tsp each of Cumin, Chilli Powder, All Spice (or you could try clove & cinnamon), Salt (and sometimes I add Smoked Paprika or a tiny bit of Garlic Powder), pour over the popped corn and shake about. also, anyone who adds sugar to popcorn needs to be shot in the face.

Kilgore Trout Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 my dumb neighbor put wind chimes on her porch a couple days ago. we live in the hills right next to the pacific so they're always clanging in the afternoon because of strong winds. i mostly work at home on the computer so it's starting to drive me insane. stupid jerk.

Goiter Sanchez Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Thanks fellows. I have one more bag of microwavable so I may try ZN's resealing idea... Making it on the stove top sounds fancier and more delicious so I will try that as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braintree Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I would also change "real" to "physical" since virtual currency is still real. And historically it's been physical property and not virtual property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, some prof's love commas whenever they're applicable, in which case "historically, a large..." would be the way to go. Personally I think too many commas make writing seem choppy, so I'd stick with the way you have that part. But my gf's old writing prof would disagree.
