Hot Buttered Popcorn Current mood: rejuvenated What a treat tonight :) I popped popcorn the old fashioned way. Not by placing a bag "this side down" in the microwave and pushing the 'popcorn' button. No you youngsters who read my blogs may have never experienced popcorn prepared this way and that is a shame! But alas, fret not because you can still by popcorn kernels in a jar. Get yourself a 4 quart pot and 3 Tbs of oil and 1/3 cup of the golden kernels and heat them up! Ah the sound of those little golden buggers sizzling as the oil starts to boil there little insides until "POP" and the fluffy white taste treat is released like a butterlfy from it's cocoon! The lid being forced off from the expanding kernels. The fun of pouring hot melted real butter over the little white fluffy food is a joy as well. And the taste of fresh popped popcorn the old way brings back memories of Grandma babysitting in a New Years Eve when I was a little boy and the two of us popping popcorn in the kitchen. And then in High School popping mass qauntities enough to fill a grocery bag for the double feature at the Drive-in hoping you wouldn't see all the movie ;) Hmm, there is a Drive-in close by.....Anyone up for some hot buttered popcorn and a double feature :)
