Speaking of popcorn
The other night I got a craving for some popcorn, not the microwaved kind but
the old fashioned kind that's popped in oil on the stove or in a popcorn popper. So I got out the popcorn popper from the back of the closet and made a batch. Boy, there is no comparison between old fashioned and microwave popcorn. I could actually taste the popcorn. With microwave popcorn all I taste is salty artificial butter flavoring. I wonder how many younger people have never tasted real homemade popcorn. I'm 39 by the way. |

Thanks - now *I* have a craving for popcorn <g>! I have found that the problem with MW popcorn is not the MW but the popcorn. I regularly pop loose popcorn (Orville's) in a special MW corn popper and add salt, butter later. It's just fine. I think the chemicals and processing make those prepackaged "MW popcorn" pouches taste bad. -- Peter Aitken Remove the crap from my email address before using. |

Never mind the real thing in popcorn. How about caramel corn. It takes only a few minutes to melt some butter and brown sugar to make something that is way better than Crackerjacks. |

Oh man, now I'm craving kettle corn. Rats. Greg Zywicki |
