Microwave Popcorn

Hello MY Crazies!  My apologies for being late today as I had to work. I know some of you are amazing and can do the whole work and family thing, I cant. Days I have to work, nothing else gets done thanks to the fibromyalgia.

Any way, did you know you don't have to buy microwave popcorn?  You can make your own with just a few things.

One way is with small brown paper sacks that you can buy in most stores. Put 1/3 cup (some people use 1/2 cup) I'm the bag, fold down the top and place on its side in the microwave for 2 minutes.

Another way is to put your popcorn in a large glass bowl and put a plate on top. Again 1/3 cup for 2 min. This way is easier if you want to add butter and salt ahead of time.

You can also use a large pot on the stove, but I've never tried it so I can't give you any details.

Don't forget to throw in some fruitloops when your done. Or any kind of candy, or a little sugar.

Microwave Scrambled Eggs

If you're a regular resident in our Asylum you know I am not a fan of eggs. I was told by my doc I needed to add more protein so guess what...yeah ewww, so gross to me!

You will also know...I'm lazy! Well tonight I tried to microwave eggs and it wasn't bad!

Cooking spray
Microwave safe bowl or mug
2 eggs
2 Tbsp milk
2 Tbsp shredded cheese

Spray your bowl or mug with cooking spray or wipe it with olive oil. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Place in microwave for 1 min, stir and return for 30 seconds to 1 min, and enjoy (as much as one can enjoy eggs).
