How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
Cheap and easy;
A perfectly fun crunch;
An amazing and unmistakable aroma;
A snack that everyone in our house can eat;
And I'm able to impress the kids with my kernel-catchin' capabilities!
For years I bought the microwave variety (complete with all the unhealthy chemicals), and then I heard a friend recount a story involving her young child's friend not knowing how to pop popcorn on the stove. I laughed appropriately and then headed home to google directions.
Here's what we do:
Put 2-3 T. oil (I like coconut) in a 3 qt. pot along with 5 kernels; put on lid. When all the kernels pop, add 1/3 c. kernels. Shake until the popping slows. Sprinkle with salt and devour.
Ha! We do the microwave kind too. I'm sure my kids don't know you can do it any other way. We're going to give this a try.
