I can tell you that that burnt spell was not pleasant to wake up to but boy! did he enjoy his coffee.

I always thought I'd have to do it on the stovetop, with more of a "shake the popcorn" action going on. The oven would be so much easier.

When it worked, it did make the very best coffee, though. Fri Oct 06 23:09:07 -0700 2006 1928256 12983 miss_mia
