The Popcorn Maker
December 15, 2020
When the lights go out and the TV flickers softly, I know what my job is. While my friends pick the movie, I pour the kernels into the metal pot. The right amount of oil, the perfect amount of seeds. I know how long to wait until I start to stir. When the oil spits and stings, I don't flinch. The salt sticks like magic to the popcorn, and I never burn a single piece.
