The rosemary was just a hint which I think is a good thing. This cooked up pretty fast. With Microwave oven now a days you forget about stove top popcorn. This is a leaner way of having popcorn. You don`t open a bag full of who knows what (salt, Fat, Chemicals) when it comes out of the micro! Thanks for posting this!Reply
