Maybe everyone already knows this trick, and I'm late to the party, but I just learned something really neat, and I wanted to share with anyone trying to eat better

More curry? We must find out what this odd change in tastes means!!!!

how long do you pop and do you need to add oil to pop it?

[wombatgirl]

I honestly just used the popcorn setting on the microwave, but the typical statement about waiting until the pops are 1-2 seconds apart I think would apply

And no, you don't *have* to add oil. Which is just sweet.

I just saw a warning from someone on the other list I posted this to stating to *not* put the bag on it's side, or it will burn. So I thought I'd pass that along as well.

This is fantastic, and I know my housemate has popcorn sitting around. Now I just need some bags! Thank you so much for posting about this!

I am, fwiw, actually doing WW again, at least with books/calculator (not paying for meetings, I can't afford it), and have made it almost a week and a half so far. Since I've lacked sufficient motivation/willpower to even start for the last year or so, I'm really pleased. Now I need to buy a scale so I can better tell how I'm doing! ^_^

Go you! I bet you're doing great!

There are some pretty decently priced and fairly accurate scales on Amazon BTW

I've never used staples because they make me nervous too. I used to do this all the time until I received my own air popper. The popped corn always tastes better than the preservative-laden, artificially flavoured pre-fabbed microwave bags.
