Kids Today
Recently, I was entertaining munchkins when they asked for popcorn. The air popper was a bit fritzy, but no problem. I got out a lidded pot and vegetable oil.
"Noooo!" came the horrified screams, "We want popcorn!"
"I'm making popcorn," Aunt Jen responded.
After much debate over whether it was possible for me to make popcorn with the apparatus and ingredients I had assembled, the corn started popping.
Hyperactive giggling ensued from the under-five set.
Posted by Jennifer at January 28, 2005 08:12 AMMicrowave popcorn on the stove top. I once tried making a pack of the microwave popcorn i take to work the old fashion way( I didnt have a microwave at the time). Not good at all! Makes an absolute mess. You would think a culinary graduate would know better!

That would have blown their 21st century minds.
