Mmm, popcorn.

Apr 22, 2003 15:52

I so did not know what to have for lunch today, but popcorn turned out to be just right. Yay! I like making popcorn in a pan; it feels much more real than the microwave bags, even if those are a wonder of the modern age. Of course, we don't have a microwave, so that probably affects my opinion on the matter somewhat.

This is a really fun game ( Read more... )

Careful! That game can suck hours, even days of your life away!

At my house, we always had one of those air-popper things. And Johnny's Popcorn Salt. Johnny's is based in Tacoma, WA, I think, but may be in stores up where you are. Yum, popcorn.

I swear by the air popper.

Not as fake-feeling and icky-greasy as microwave, yet it doesn't ever burn.

I am so glad you don't need batteries to use a kitten.

A kitten cannot be ingested

It can too!

20q.net is downright eerie though. I'm truly amazed.

In terms of popcorn, I think the good stuff is made in a wok (i.e. cooked in oil). Ian Schempp recently introduced me to the practice of peppering popcorn, which is pretty cool.

20Q didn't know what an extra-large breadbox was, but I don't really blame it. I couldn't give it particularly good answers to all of the questions....

I don't have a wok, sadly. Of course, the stove in our current apartment is electric, so even if I had a wok I couldn't use it very well. For this afternoon's popcorn I used a heavy-bottomed 2-liter pot and olive oil and it worked great. I seasoned it with salt and pepper, but I've had great successes with butter and garlic and parmesan cheese, too. Yum.
