My cataract surgery is two days from now so here I am trying to do as much chores as I could because I certainly need to limit my movements during the recovery period. I am putting up the Christmas Tree today, changing the curtains and hanging the Christmas decors and lights as well. Tomorrow I will do some gardening. But before I start working, I am here feasting on the bucket of popcorn that my son bought home. I don't normally eat popcorn but the salted caramel flavor fits my taste and I could not stop munching. The label says it has 0 trans fat and non GMO. What is your favorite snack?

@SIMPLYD Yes even if this is just a cyberworld we can always show our care for one another, thanks again. About Ingrid, I pray she is just busy with her job and no health issue. Remember her heart condition? Also I am missing Sol, that lively, happy lady I've not been seeing lately. Maybe Kettle corn which is also good of course.

@salonga You know my dear , i care for all my friends here . It's as if they're my real friends . I feel anxious when i don't see them here anymore , like ingrid or @ridingbet . Oh no . I just buy those in supermarkets the brand is Kennel i think , something like that . It is so delicious too. And that is the flavor i so love because i am not fond of popcorn . But that flavor made me love popcorn .

My favorite snacks are fruits, or plain Greek yogurt. Now it does not take long to recover post cataract surgery and you only have to limit your activities for a couple of days.

I know many people love popcorn but I don't like it at all and I don't even like the smell. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

@salonga It is very popular at our big cinema complex and you can smell popcorn almost as soon as you get out of the car in the parking area.

Thank you dear for your concern. Yes it is just cataract surgery just minor surgery but can lead to complications if I did not follow the precautions.. My son probably thought I deserved some sweet salty treat after working a lot.

Popcorn is also my favourite snack .. I only buy those buttered ones in packet that you cook in microwave .. I read somewhere that popcorn has no calories .. therefore it's better ... I wish you well with your surgery .. ;) ..

Thank you so much! The butter and the caramel add up calories perhaps but it is okay for this is just once in a while indulgence.

i would like to share your bucket of popcorn. Sounds delicious. I like ice cream as a treat, I don't eat between meals (never have) but for dessert its ice cream. I don't make popcorn but when at the movies, that is my treat...

Surgery and pop corn. Do you have some tension to eat more. I think it's a keyhole one and less pain.Wish you good luck and get well soon.
