I know this is cheating but honestly, being the mother of three, the wife of one, the owner of a small business this is my life, my microwave is my best friend on most days.

You don't know how many times I've given popcorn to my kids for 'dinner!' Nice idea. The popcorn in front of the bowl adds a nice informality that popcorn usually has. I would recommend you just sharpen things up a bit with focus, and then with post processing. You might also want to experiment with adding more contrast to get your whites just a little bit whiter and your darks just a little bit darker for a cleaner, clearer image. Nice work.
Pos .. I like the colors and background is kind of nice. Nice photo :D
Neg .. Its slightly out of focus, The composition would be better if the whole bowl was in frame, and too bad you couldn't have a seamless background .. the ripples are distracting.
The way you have the lighting makes it feels dreamy. The dark background helps to give a feeling that you're at the theatre. The fabric seems like the kind they use to cover the screen.
Good lighting, nice simple background. The popcorn looks fresh and light and buttery. I think the focus is a bit soft and I'm not sure if that border detracts or not - the color seems a little washed out and brings down the tone of the bowl, IMO. 6
