thebug Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I like air popped....I add salt and a little vinegar. mmmm If microwaved is the only option, I would go with Redenbacher's smart pop stuff. Do they still make that Jiffy pop stuff, I remember having those at the campfire.
Lori Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I'm telling you, if it takes you less than an hour, you're not doing it right! QFT. I heard it takes roughly the same amount of time as frying noodles.
Captain Hindsight Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 You know its funny. I was about to go make popcorn....then i saw this thread...but im still hungry so im gonna make it anyway
Bullpen Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 You know its funny. I was about to go make popcorn....then i saw this thread...but im still hungry so im gonna make it anyway You gonna share any with the 5th year senior? You know chef (disclaimer I'm a popcorn elitist as well), i use my aluminum "wing bowl" (the one I use to sauce my wings) and some aluminum foil on the top and only make popcorn on the stove and at first my family was looking at me like "WTF? Just fire up the microwave." Then they tried the stove-top stuff and they won't even eat the microwave stuff. Guess I've raised a family of "elitists."
Booster4324 Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 QFT. I heard it takes roughly the same amount of time as frying noodles. Do not encourage him. What are you thinking?
Lori Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Do not encourage him. What are you thinking? Who, me?
Captain Hindsight Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 You gonna share any with the 5th year senior? No way Fug that guy O and hes a women beater...heard him slap the **** out of his GF...real class act
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I don't know why you'd figure that. Since corn already has corn oil in it, you'd think it would pop without adding any other oil. I am not a popcorn expert, but isn't "popping" corn a special kind of grown corn? From Wiki: "Corn is able to pop because, unlike other grains, its kernels have a hard moisture-sealed hull and a dense starchy filling. This allows pressure to build inside the kernel until an explosive "pop" results." "Some strains of corn are now cultivated specifically as popping corns." I wonder what these strains have do with oil content. And like I said, it does matter which brand you get... I can tell you that the stuff the Boy Scouts push off on people is crap... Even know they call it gourmet (Trail's End). I refuse to sell it and just give a couple hundred dollars donation every year! I think the one's my family likes is ActII or Pop Secret. I know they don't like Orville Redenbacher's or Jolly Time.
The Poojer Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 i trust you didn't just let it happen...there are special places in hell for people like that No way Fug that guy O and hes a women beater...heard him slap the **** out of his GF...real class act
Bullpen Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 No way Fug that guy O and hes a women beater...heard him slap the **** out of his GF...real class act Okay, this is screaming for a threadjack and I'm sorry for doing it, Chef. You heard him slap his girlfriend? I hope you mean, "heard him slap the **** out of his GF and then I went in a stomped a mudhole in his ass."
Beerball Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 QFT. I heard it takes roughly the same amount of time as frying noodles. I got some noodles hanging around the pantry. Got a recipe?
Cugalabanza Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I got some noodles hanging around the pantry. I hope you don't mind, I used this line for my sig. I have no idea why.
Beerball Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I hope you don't mind, I used this line for my sig. I have no idea why. Be my guest. My pantry.
taterhill Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Microwave Popcorn is good stuff.....stinks up the office though...I may have some later.....
stuckincincy Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) I hope you don't mind, I used this line for my sig. I have no idea why. Because...it embiggens! BTW - any soccer games coming up, that I should keep an eye peeled for? Edited November 4, 2009 by stuckincincy
Cugalabanza Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 BTW - any soccer games coming up, that I should keep and eye peeled for? Not much happening with the national teams right now. The World Cup qualifying is pretty much wrapped up. In Europe, the focus is on the club teams in the early part of their seasons. The MLS playoffs are going on right now. The LA Galaxy, with Donovan and Beckham, play this Sunday against Chivas USA (7:30pm ET on ESPN2). It's game 2 of their match-up (the playoff format is a two game, home and home, aggregate goal series). They tied 2-2 in game one, so this game Sunday will decide who moves on to the conference final. I don't watch MLS very often, but like many sports, they bring it up a notch in the playoffs. And Donovan seems to have raised his level of play in the last year or so. It's fun to watch him work.

Chef Jim Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 You gonna share any with the 5th year senior? You know chef (disclaimer I'm a popcorn elitist as well), i use my aluminum "wing bowl" (the one I use to sauce my wings) and some aluminum foil on the top and only make popcorn on the stove and at first my family was looking at me like "WTF? Just fire up the microwave." Then they tried the stove-top stuff and they won't even eat the microwave stuff. Guess I've raised a family of "elitists." If making popcorn on the stove is as far up the elitists ladder you've climed you've got a long way to go. I'll give you some lessons when I have time seeing I'm a bit busy searching for top quality Champagne and caviar for a small get together on the boat this weekend.
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Okay, this is screaming for a threadjack and I'm sorry for doing it, Chef. You heard him slap his girlfriend? I hope you mean, "heard him slap the **** out of his GF and then I went in a stomped a mudhole in his ass." [sarcasm_on] Hey there were other people in the house: The bystander effect is the somewhat controversial name given to a social psychological phenomenon in cases where individuals do not offer help in an emergency situation when other people are present. [/sarcasm_off] Ya, I am waiting for his response. I am glad people are calling him out on this. I hope he did something besides bake some cookies.
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Microwave Popcorn is good stuff.....stinks up the office though...I may have some later..... Hey Chef, look above ^^. It also hides the smell of alcohol on one's breath. So I guess it does have its (micro popcorn) worth.
