I seem to have the most problems making popcorn. We pop it in oil (I should probably switch to microwave . . .)

One night I was making popcorn and I was wearing an oversized sweatshirt. I grabbed the pot and shook it over the stovetop to evenly distribute the kernels. Next thing I knew, the sleeve of my sweatshirt had caught on fire! Fortunately, I kept my head and stopped-dropped-and rolled (yes, I really did that) and managed to put it out safely The sweatshirt did not make it. However, the popcorn was great!

Two weeks ago I was making a huge batch for DH and I. He was outside working at the time. I went out to ask him a question, we got to talking, I forgot about the popcorn. When I came back in I was knocked over by the scent of burnt popcorn, it was a mess. Don't leave popcorn unattended and definitely not for 30 minutes.
