Note that the praise was not especially earnest.

    You don’t need a microwave, especially for such a special occasion. Just put some popcorn and a little oil in a big pot with a lid. Crank up the heat and shake frequently until the popping slows, then turn off the heat. Throw in a hunk of butter, close the lid and give it a toss. Salt and enjoy some amazing popcorn for what should be some delicious schadenfreude 🍿

      This is the way. Stove popcorn tastes better, is crunchier, cheaper, and it won’t go stale for at least a day, unlike microwave popcorn.

      Love popcorn until a kernel husk slides down between my tooth and gums then I don’t. White popcorn isn’t as bad though.
      Glass gem popcorn is my favorite.

      My husband and I make all our own popcorn using a whirly pop popcorn maker on the stove. Much easier than shaking it! We use avocado oil which gives it a very rich flavor and then add popcorn salt. It’s quite good and for this particular occasion, I might just add a hunk of butter as you’ve suggested!
