Microwave Popcorn



Recommended Posts

How hard is it to cook this properly without letting it burn and stink up the whole office? I am pretty sure every bag now says "do NOT use the popcorn button". I think this is grounds for termination.

Vent over. I feel better. :)

Burned microwave popcorn is one of the most heinous odors out there. Definitely termination-worthy!

Funny

I once had a VP that smelled that in our office once and posted a memo stating "No Odoriffic Foods Allowed"

You are singing the song of my people. There are people in my office who put the bag in the microwave and then go to the bathroom or back to their desk. Of COURSE it burns! You have to watch it and listen for the pops to come longer than a few seconds apart. Like the bag always says. DUH.

Horrible stench! And it lingers. I think it has to do with microwave wattage/power.

At home I hit 3.33 minutes for "fat free" Orville R. popcorn-full size bags. Perfection!

When I do the same thing in a hotel microwave, it burns. Stinks and sets off the smoke detector.

i luv, luv, luv my Orville Redenbocker Kettle Corn

but, it doesn't love me!!

bag doesn't say "do not use popcorn button"

never gets burned, tastes yummy

these past few months- i ate a lotttt of popcorn!!

100 calories a bag, big deal, not bad right?

WRONG (for me)so many carbs!!!

i don't always pay enough attention to carbs

i am pretty sure alllll the popcorn i ate (daily)

2 bags sometimes!!!!

contributed to my couple of added inches :angry:

popcorn is my main yummy that i can't control myself

like Lay's Potato chips, i can't just have one

i like to say, "knowing the problem is 1/2 the solution"

you can look and look

in fear of being shot

you won't find any popcorn in my house

that's my answer, and i'm stickin' to it

good luck

kathy

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
