I pop my own popcorn (and amaranth) in a pan, not in a microwave
When I make popcorn, it's usually weird varietals, in olive oil. There's some really tasty popcorn out there, it's just not sold in big jars or zipper bags in grocery stores.
chicken pho - does not compute.
I miss when I was working regularly in phoenix. One of my coworkers was vietnamese, and her mom would cook me spectacular meals.
