I found a day calendar that Katie Newell gave me for my birthday during nursing school when I cleaned out my closet. It's called the Year of Awesome and every day has little writings about something awesome. I really didn't want to throw it away and I have a terrible time journaling every day so I thought what better way to commit it to history than write down each day what it says. So here goes:
When your microwave popcorn turns out perfectly
Stop too soon and you'll enjoy some well popped corn, but be left with a few handfuls of greasy, unpoppped kernels at the bottom of the bag. Your stomach will rumble and you'll either remain hungry or pop a second bag and overeat. Not cool.
Stop too late and you'll enjoy some well-popped corn, but many kernels will be black and burnt, the bag will be smoky, and your fire alarm could have a fit. Not cool, either.

Yes, that's why it's so great when your microwave pops popcorn perfectly. Either you grow to trust your dependable Popcorn Button or you slowly master the perfect time yourself, after a few bad bags.
But either way, how does it feel when you pull out that perfect, steaming bag?
Awesome!
Lisa's thoughts: I have mastered this skill. Two minutes max. When there is a lag time (even slightly) between kernels popping, it's time to take it out. :)
