Stove Top Popcorn

Stove Top Popcorn. Do it like your grandma did it. Ditch your microwave and leave the gamma rays behind.

I can spin a story about my love affair with popcorn and how it’s gotten me through some pretty rough movies and blah, blah, blah.

The truth of the matter is…everyone loves popcorn. It’s popcorn! It’s universal, like porn ice cream.

It seemed that I’d been neglecting my popcorn intake, but then I was inspired by Cassie of Bake Your Day. So, I started to make popcorn at home a little more…and when I write “little” I mean double batches everyday for about a week. Hey, don’t shame me. I had to share with Dave, alright!

Then I came across this post by Kristin of Pastry Affair and good lord, my technique skyrocketed. This particular method produced the least amount of unpopped kernels. That’s important because nobody wants to waste popcorn. Am I right?

Rhetorical question, people. Of course, I’m right!

So, go. Go make some stove top popcorn. Make a big-ass bowl. You’ll be happy when you do.

Now, that you’ve made some stove top popcorn, how are you going to enjoy it?  With a stack of your favorite, um, ice cream? Well, you’ll get no judgments from me, man. Carry on.

    I can visualize those little gems popping into your mouth with no thought of the consequences. Your plan is to entice everyone to do the same as you so as to share the guilt you seem to enjoy. David is totally guilty, maybe even more so since he viciously makes each kernel look so mouth watering how can any normal person resist. But you showed your true colors when you introduced ice cream into the picture. That’s truly a low blow into this artistic endeavor.

    Love this post! For anyone who loves sweet and savory combos, try drizzling a bit of honey along with the Sriracha. It adds an incredible twist to the popcorn. Thanks for sharing this gem of a recipe!

    Thank you for this thought-provoking post! Mental health has long been overlooked, but it’s good to see more people prioritizing it. The data from the Healthy Minds Poll provides valuable insight into how different groups experience mental health challenges. It’s concerning that young adults and the unemployed report poorer mental health, which highlights the need for more accessible services. We must continue advocating for better mental health care and breaking the stigma surrounding it.

    I think this blog does a great job highlighting the contrasting interpretations of the NHS Health Check programme. The Forster study with over 140,000 participants is hard to ignore—it clearly shows the value of preventive healthcare in identifying cardiovascular risks early. Maybe it’s time we rethink how we measure the success of such public health strategies.moringa in powder
