Popcorn

061208_0018 I know, it’s not much, but this is all I’ve got to show you by way of a current knitting project–the base of a string bag, just waiting for the sides to start.

Fascinating, I know.

Let’s see … in other news, I did something I haven’t done in ages. I made popcorn tonight. Not that naughty, microwave popcorn–the real stuff. Made in a pot on the stove, served with a little salt and a little butter. The only inconvenient part is that then there’s a pot and bowl to clean up. Well, three bowls–one for each of us. I used to have this beautiful, glass, microwave popper that worked as a serving bowl as well as a popper, but it broke. (Twice, because the replacement broke, too, darn it. I miss that popper.) Although, stove-popped tastes best. For some great tips and flavor ideas, check out this thread.

  1. We are so very separated at birth! I am a popcorn fanatic. I usually use my 1980s era air popper but nothing beats the real thing.

  2. I love stove popped - my mother used to make it every Friday night - giant bowls of it. We use the air popper now - especially since I ruined one of hubby’s Le Creuset enamel pans making stove top popcorn early in our relationship! Well, not totally ruined, but it chipped a couple of holes in the enamel. Who knew?
