Something not about the hurricane that just passed our way

@TheHorse asked a question this weekend about after school snacks and what type we might have had. I mentioned popcorn was a snack I enjoyed after school. The Horse mentioned he liked popcorn but never seemed to have any around the house.
In his honor, I offer the following video I took this afternoon when I got home from my optional teacher workday at school. I hope you all enjoy the light salty treat.

I have a hot air corn popper that comes out whenever the grandkids visit. I've even made popcorn for hubby and I to enjoy.

@TheHorse dollar tree sells like ten different brands of just the kernels. It's in a one of two pound bag.

@DWDavis To tell you the truth, I really didn't know you could still buy them. I know when I had mine, it made some real good popcorn. Then like so many other's, I got rid of it and started using the microwave.

@sweetashoney I got the idea while working at the concession stand at the middle school I formerly taught at. The popcorn from the popper there was so much better than microwaved or air popped - at least to me - that I searched for a traditional popper and discovered this one. Then it was a matter of hinting what a great present it would make if someone wanted to give it to me.

One of my favorites is jiffy pop. But we often just grab a brown paper lunch sack and drop a little bit in it then pop it in the microwave anymore. Then melt butter and eat.

@wolfgirl569 I'm thinking I might try it when we go camping. We have a microwave in our camper. I know, really roughing it, right.

@DWDavis You do it dry, just cover the bottom of the sack then fold over. Hubby just uses the popcorn button on our microwave for time. But watch the first time as yours might be a little different. Cheaper than buying the microwave popcorn.

@DWDavis I would be willing to bribe them with liver treats and butt scratches.

@thislittlepennyearns Ace says that if you throw in an hour a day of tossing his stuffed squirrels so he can chase them then you have a deal.

My light snacks are having some fruits like grapes or a cantaloupe. I like this kind of fast food, wash and eat.
