Popcorn

Donna came home from the Amish market , with some old fashion popcorn the other night. Man, I forgot what it was like to have some real popcorn, not the microwave stuff. The only draw back to the whole process was, I used too small of a pot, and put in too much cornels. 😮. Let's just say "WE ALL" enjoyed popcorn, including the dog and the two bowls Donna took over to the elderly couple across the street. I have been banned from the stove again, and am on probation using the kitchen🤣 Going to make some more tonight, while watching the late games.
Seriously, we had fun making it this way. I remember my mom making it over the fire in the fireplace when we were kids. She also bought the different color popcorn. The actually still make it. It came in a jar, and was four different colors. I ordered some online this afternoon. Mom would also by that Jiffy Pop , but it wasn't as good as the old pan and oil popcorn.
Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday weekend. Oakie

Love me some "real" popcorn. If that is all it takes to get banned from the kitchen, I'm in! Bob
I used to have a 6-qt Stir Crazy popper. I loved to add a couple squirts of Tabasco to the oil. Would eat the whole batch.
But I also managed to crack two teeth chomping down on partly popped kernels. Reluctantly gave the popper away.
Recently bought a bag of Boom Chicka Pop Buttered popcorn and luxuriated in it. It isn't freshly popped, but it's darn good.
Ive got a theater style popper in the basement and use it regularly.
Pan w/ bacon grease is the way to go.
We grew Native American origin strawberry popcorn. Pretty red kernels, that pop up white as any other.
Popcorn is a good treat for dogs too. As long as you give them just regular popcorn, without salt and butter. I can't wait to get this multi color popcorn. It will bring back some good childhood memories.
I never heard of it, until now. I had to go look it up. They said it is the best popcorn there is. Very healthy, because it doesn't have an additives or chemicals, like commercial popcorn.
Is there a specific type of corn that you have to grow, for popcorn, and what is it. I mean obviously you cannot use regular sweetcorn .
Our dogs eat a lot of popcorn. We lose the thing that goes on top of the air popper and the popcorn goes flying until you cover it ...
