Long time- maybe over a year? since I last messed with popcorn. Tonight hubby wondered about snacks. Nope. I wasn't running to the store. I thought about it and said I could try to pop some of the popcorn that had been squatting in the cupboard forever. Had we brought it over when we moved about four years ago?? I took out the deep Revere ware pan that my Mom found at a garage sale and poured a little oil in and turned on the hottest burner. I remembered that just a third of a cup of popcorn made plenty. Not long and popping noises started up. I clapped the lid on tighter and shook and shook the pan. Wow. I did it. White kernels waited for me to sprinkle salt and garlic powder on. And the smoke alarm didn't go off. Amazing. While I was at it I cleaned the kitchen: I snagged the hoarded tablespoon of chocolate chips and dumped them into bowls. Ha ha. Anybody else have dabs of stuff that they just can't let go of?
