Aaahhhh HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Mine is the 24th. My much loved grandma was on the 21st.
I think it's great that hubby is getting you the popcorn popper if you really want it but you can make popcorn in a paper bag --- no oil --- in the micro wave. I use the paper lunch bags from Dollar Tree, put 1/4 -1/3 cup in the bag fold down the top a couple of times and cook about 1.5 - 2 minutes. If you need more you can re-use bag.
Is there something else you might like instead?
