Panfilo posted:Eh, my wife's family used to cook popcorn on the stove when she was young yet given the choice now they'll all prefer to microwave it instead,less dishes to clean. If you ever wanted the theater popcorn experience at home, you can always buy a carton of Gold Medal Flavacol! If you want the appropriate color, it's just yellow died coconut oil.

iMonarch posted:Keeping the same dried herbs and spices in the kitchen for generations. Oh my God. I am having flashbacks to finding like a dozen bottles of spices with expiration dates in the 1970s that my parents must have gotten as a wedding gift. Your last chance to use it was during the loving Carter administration! Just throw it out!

I'd like to also blame Boomers for the American notion that less technology involved = betterer music, some general supremacy given to rustic sounding stuff. Except they on this count they have many Millennial and Gen X acolytes. CPL593H posted:Tears in Heaven is more of a baby dropper. Yowza lol

Popcorn talk: Get one of these. You don't have to futz with the stovetop and you don't have to deal with the artificiality of bagged microwave popcorn. Add whatever amount of butter & salt you want and zap it for 2:30 in the microwave. I also usually add a dash of curry powder; it owns.

What's wrong with air popping? It's almost as easy as microwaving and the only dishes are for bowl (but you can use a paper bag) and whatever you melt your butter in.

Doing 5K /10k "running races" where the max course time is two hours and everyone who does the race gets a finishers medal and t-shirt. Complains about drat millennials and their participation trophies at the beer tent afterwards.

Complains about drat millennials and their participation trophies at the beer tent afterwards. Most of those races are aimed at overweight guys and girls(of all ages) who want something to get a selfie in front of after they've "run" the "race". The millennial version is tough mudder races which are basically filled with gymrat wannabes and instagram woo girls who are also looking for a different backdrop for their hourly selfies.

If you aren't using an Air Popper you've been wasting your popcorn-eating life. Fill the cup with kernels. The popper cooks each one perfectly, their increased surface area catching the hot air, catching the breeze like a sail out of the popper, depositing them cleanly in the vessel of your choice. If you like popcorn, like really like it, you need one. Microwave is for if you get stuck late at work.
