Pop Pop Sizzle

I realized all too late Friday night that we had run out of popcorn. We are huge fans of it in our house. I usually buy the big 24 packs that seem to last forever so I never realize when we finally run out.   Either way, I had both kids snuggled on the couch with pillows and blankets ready to watch a movie when I noticed the popcorn dilemma. My attempt at redeeming myself had me digging in my pantry for the old school popcorn bag, oil and salt.  The popcorn didn’t take too long to pop and the constant shaking of the pan wasn’t even a bother.  I actually loved the taste of it.  I can’t help but wonder if that was due to the fact that things are always better when you know you have worked for them.  This just may become a bit of a weekend tradition for us.
