Let's talk popcorn.
-
When my wife first moved in she made me watch all of Little House on the Prairie. Ever since then popcorn has become a regular thing here. It’s a perfect low calorie snack.
My standard is peanut oil and popcorn and a little bit of koshi salt on top once it’s done. I just use a standard pot for making mine because I’m not about to deal with a popcorn maker.
Sometimes we’ll shave some red dark pepper chocolate just sprinkle on top. Sometimes my wife wants Raisinets in hers.
Rarely I’ll use Bacon fat instead of peanut oil. On extra rare occasion I might use duck fat.
We never put butter on it because we don’t tend to stock salted butter, although that is changing now that I’m making more sourdough. So maybe I will add some water to it in the near future.

Little House on the Prairie?! How old are you? Goodnight John Boy.
And if you catch that reference, you old. SOURCE: Am old.

Coconut oil, salt and tajin. Whirly pop for the win. I’ve been using the same whirly pop for about 15 years.
This guy gets it.
Though I use Flavacol instead of salt and tajin - it’s exactly what movie theaters use.

Kids and I absolutely love popcorn; this has been my favorite popper by far:

The full watch through started in 2012 when she moved in. I remember it existing as a kid but couldn’t stand it. Didn’t do much better this time without turning every episode into MST3K.
The official cookbook has come in handy on occasion.

Well, 2012 was like, last year. Right? Right?!

I didn’t see it so I’m add our homes go to. A little ghee and fine salt to pop in, then topped with a little garlic salt and grated parmesan. We’ve been using a glass bowl in the microwave, does decent.

Never thought I would read “healthier without all the oil” in 2025.
all the oil
🤫 don’t say it out loud, the yanks🇺🇲 might be listening

Yeah iirc the thing is superheated steam, oil and plastic
But also its so easy to make on a stove, microwave popcorn is such a rip off
I was using paper bags and the microwave to make popcorn for a good while.
Then I remembered I own a Dutch oven, and it dawned on my it’s easier and makes a larger batch. My husband calls me grandma when I’m making it lol
I’m make my grandma popcorn okay?

Bonus pts for pursuing atherosclerosis all the more rapidly!
That fake butter will clog your arteries. Me, I have no detectable plaque in my heart. They looked for it over and over. My family has a history, too. I stopped eating trans fat in the mid 90’s, that’s probably why. I also ate no meat for 21 of the last 25 years. Just started eating bacon again this year. Once a month treat.

Not worse than oyster shells.
I don’t get it. Who is grinding oyster shells for cooking and why?
