difficulty

I'm a big fan of microwave popcorn.  Not the yellow stuff that tastes like plastic.  I mean the homemade goodness that you scoop out of a bag, into a paper bag and pop in your oven.  That's good stuff right there and I've been told that I make it well.  Tonight, however, I burned the popcorn.  Not lightly either.  We're talking about the smelly, oh-why-didn't-I-push-the-STOP-button, I-hope-I-didn't-start-a-fire burnt.
