  • Nope works fine. But you can’t use extra virgin olive oil. It has a lower smoke point. Also I’ve found you can do a small bowl or a regular bowl but a large one is best done in two shots.

    I used to just use a brown paper bag. Put about a teaspoon of olive oil in the bottom and a little less than a 1/4 cup of popcorn in the bottom (it will start to bleed through, so I put it on a paper towel), put a couple staples in the top (no they won’t spark) and nuke for maybe a couple of minutes.

    This did not produce enough popcorn for my addiction, so I started using as plastic microwave popcorn bowl someone gave me. It was more or less the same recipe but I was able to up the quantity a little bit. I didn’t like cooking in plastic though, so now I use a Pyrex bowl with a square plate over the top. The square plate is too keep the popcorn in but still have a little space for the steam to escape. I like not having plastic in the equation anymore but there are some drawbacks.

    1. It takes about 5.5 minutes now(1st world problem).

    2. The bowl gets really hot so you MUST use oven mitts to handle it.

    3. The salt, which I put in before popping, seems to stay more in the bowl than on the popcorn.

    4. I’m constantly worried that at some point the bowl is just going to explode.







  • Most “incriminating” stuff (if I even know what that is) ON my android phone is probably text messaging. I use a program called Textra. Any suggestions for that?

    The rest would be in the cloud, like comments here or on YouTube videos or wherever Google stores the stuff I say while my phone is near.

    IDK, kind of thinking about leaving it at home, but I really want the communication while I’m in airports and I use it for music on airplanes and in hotel showers and stuff.
