Making microwave popcorn~
Did y’all see the moon yesterday?! It was huge!!
Like this huge!! Okay~ This is a bad picture because hey~ My lens cannot zoom that far okay~ And on top of that, I didn’t bring my tripod so I should be forgiven for taking such a bad photo of the beautiful celestial stone. But… When you zoom in…
Zoomed at 100%, this is still a pretty decent photo of the moon, no? At least you can still see the shadowy parts of the moon.
They said that this phenomenon called the… what’s the term again? Vera called it “lunar moon”. Leon called it “sailor moon”. But the internet calls it the “super moon”. Whatever~ I’ll just call it the “big, beautiful moon”.
Anyway, yesterday night, we had nothing to do so we watched a Pokemon movie! YES!! What’s wrong with being 20 years old and still watching Pokemon? Pokemon are made by adults okay~ And I still play Pokemon~
Who cares if I’m childish? I’m happy and that’s what matters to me!!
What’s a movie without POPCORN! Actually, you can still watch movie without those high calorie snacks but because we saw this packet of microwave popcorn for less than $3 at the supermarket, we bought it just to try out.
It’s called the “Poppin Microwave Popcorn Butter Flavor”. The color scheme reminds me of Kraft but I don’t think it’s by Kraft though. One whole pack of this movie treats is a near 500 calories! Best if you share it with a friend or two to spread out the fatness.
It’s actually really easy to make your instant popcorn. All you have to do is to tear open the plastic packaging, pop this paper bag thingie into the microwave for 3 minutes and wait for the magic to pop.
Read the instructions carefully though because if you put this inside the microwave for too long, the whole bag might explode and there goes your equipment. I have no idea what difference it makes if you “Heat This Side Down” though. Probably have something to do with the expansion of the bag during cooking.
Microwaving the popcorn. How I wish I have a simple microwave like this at home. Oh yes~ Just so you know, this is not my house. :P
Realize I changed my camera angle? The bag was expanding SO QUICKLY I was really afraid to stand close to the microwave. You know, in case it explodes… I don’t want to be covered in popcorn and metal debris. But yes~ The bag will expand! So if you think that one packet is not enough, think again!!
How the bag looks like… From a thin sheet of cardboard looking thing to this big bag of fatty bom bom-ness. Magic!!
Ta da!! Ready for popcorn?
Erm… I think we left the popcorn in the oven for 30 seconds too long and a lot of the popcorn is burnt. Sad~!! But those which are not burnt are actually quite nice~ Not that extremely salty ones you find at the cinema but the mild, buttery taste. The burnt one just tastes burnt.
So I watched the first few minutes of the movie eating these burnt popcorn but it was thrown away even before I can eat like 10% of the packet due to “health hazards”. Sad!! But at least I had Doritos as compensation. The bliss!! :P
I’m definitely going to try these popcorn again next time and I will try not to burn it again. :P
Anyway~
