popcorn
You can always tell when my husband needs a late-night snack. I'll hear the microwave running and the corn popping.
He prefers topping the freshly popped kernels with butter and salt.
My granny used to enjoy popcorn when she watched TV. I remember once she was watching our dog years ago, and we came home to the two of them, sitting on the couch enjoying a bowl of popcorn together. One handful for Granny, one kernel for puppy.
I'm the most basic popcorn eater out there. I might add a little salt or nutritional yeast, but plain, air-popped corn is my preferred snack.
When I need something sweet, I love to make a batch of microwave caramel corn. Mmmmm!
What are your feelings about popcorn?
Thanks to Greg&Linda at WhereWeRV for inspiration to slice about snacks!
I totally love a good kettle corn popcorn. My kids and husband prefer the buttery movie theater kind. I'm okay with this because it means I have my own bowl. :)
ReplyDeleteKettle corn is the best - have you tried Boom Chicka Pop? It's the best.
DeletePopcorn? My household is all for it: kernels cooked up on the stove in a little oil. My wife is a purist who likes hers salted. I tend to get a little funkier with various combinations I conjure from the spice cabinet.
ReplyDeleteI need to expand my popcorn spice game. Please share!
DeleteWe love popcorn, but gave up the microwave stuff 3 years ago when we bought a whirly pop off amazon! 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 cup kernels, turn till it pops, dump in the bowl, sprinkle with salt, and BAM! Yummy stuff!
ReplyDeleteOh that whirly pop sounds great!
