Air-Popped Popcorn for Nights Hanging Out on the Couch
Ingredients
One popcorn popper
Directions
Place the kernels in the popcorn popper.
Put the top on.
Stick that baby in the microwave.
This is the toughest part. Gather close. Wait for it . . . hit the popcorn button on the microwave. Watch it. When the microwave dings, voila!
Serving suggestion: Dump the popped corn into a bowl, sprinkle with a little salt, grate a small bit of parmesan cheese, and prepare to enjoy the hell out of a snack as you curl up on the couch and watch TV.
Special instructions: Resist placing your feet on Chase’s legs.
Refrain from snuggling up next to him. Keep your hands out of that hair.
That golden brown, slightly wavy, looks-so-damn-soft hair.
You are friends, and you like hanging out with him.
It’s that simple, and don’t presume that friendship means you get the chance to touch his hair.
Even though you really, really, really want to touch his hair.
