what NOT to do while making homemade popcorn.
1. do not use too much oil - since its on high, you run the risk of starting a kitchen fire.2. do not put too many kernels in the pot - since a little goes a long way with popcorn, you dont want to have too much popcorn in the pot, and run the risk of having the popcorn pop the lid off the pot, and have popcorn spill all over the stove, floor and burner, and then run the risk of starting a kitchen fire.
3. do not crank the heat - it may seem like a good idea at the time, but remember, if you happen to have popcorn overflowing from the pot (because the lid has been popped off by the overflow of popcorn) and the overflowing (still popping) popcorn falls on the really hot burner, you may run the risk of starting a kitchen fire.
4. do not start a kitchen fire.
5. if you do start a kitchen fire, don't pour water on it. you may just run the risk of practically singe-ing your eyebrows and new bangs right off. as well, the flames just get higher - use baking soda or something like that.
6. did i mention, not starting the fire?
7. definitely don't do that!

yeah, i basically decided to make my own popcorn (in an effort to be healthier and cheap.)
i put WAYYYY too many kernels in the pot and caused a bit of a commotion in the kitchen!
i put all the flames out (except for the major flamer that i live with) and all is good, but man! it was scary!!!
