In the Key of K

Does this really need a post of its own? When I go to the movies I don’t take popcorn I smuggle my own in. Here is what I do…

Microwave Popcorn
In the Key of K

One brown paper lunch bag (often sold in stores near the paper plates and plastic wrap, etc.)

1/4 cup popcorn kernels

Salt

A spray bottle with water

Put the popcorn in the brown paper bag and fold the end shut. Hit the popcorn setting on your microwave. If that’s not available, it will take about 2 minutes 20 seconds on high—any longer than that and you will burn it. You want to let it cook until there is a bit space between the popping sounds.

After it’s popped, pour it in a bowl and spritz it with the water bottle 6 or 8 times. Gently salt and mix. It won’t be soggy–the small amount of water just helps the seasoning stick.

Or you can add in other things like nutritional yeast or chipotle powder or taco seasoning or whatever you like. Instead of water you can spray cooking oil or coconut aminos, etc. use your imagination! Also, save the bag. You can use it many many times before you have to throw it away. Find yourself a nice zip-up tote bag or your favorite big purse or murse and gather up some snacks, bottled beverages, and popcorn–then go see a good movie! 🎥🎞️
