always popcorn

What is a weekend without popcorn?

It's the most prolific snack coming out of my kitchen. 

I thought everyone knew how to pop popcorn, but a friend texted me the other day and said her husband was craving my popcorn, and she wanted to make it for him and needed the recipe.

Recipe? 

For popcorn?

I told her it was just popcorn, with lots of butter and salt and nutritional yeast.

She texted back...

"Fry popcorn in butter?"

No no no no no.

This is where texting falls apart.

I called her, and explained the basics of popping corn, but of course I had no measurements to give.

It's all habit and karma, baby.

I am pleased with myself when there is not one single un-popped kernel left in the pot.

Here's the gist of it.

Put a little oil in your pan

cover the bottom of pan with corn

put on lid and and shake when it really starts popping

when it stops, remove from heat and drizzle with real melted butter (I use almost a whole stick), salt to taste and coat with nutritional yeast.

These days, we are serving popcorn with dandelion smoothies.

My yard is rife with them. Free, easy and so dang good for you.

 A friend told me the other day that she was going to start blogging. However, she said, with touch of 'tude, I will never photograph my food.

"That's fine." I said.

I love photographing food, myself. 

See the photo below?

Had I not photographed my latest yard blend, it's quite possible that my children would have drink drank drunk that there stick.

I only noticed it when I looked at the camera screen.

I'm sure we've eaten countless sticks, but it might have been the first that we drank.

So there's a good reason to go ahead and document your every move.

These were perfect.
