I think I successfully talked my wife into returning the popcorn popper she received from her mother for Christmas. The popper is still sitting in its box unopened - one month later. My original argument was that we would not use it enough to justify storing it, cleaning it etc. The other day I was on amazon and I looked the popper up. It's average was only 2 stars with pretty much universal disapproval citing how the popper makes soggy popcorn. My wife didn't have much of an argument against that. If only I had been more successful with the breakmaker we've used once in four years, the fondue set we've never used and the food processor that isn't even assembled. The victory is small but it feels good - $50 is still something. Now what can I waste it on?
