I made popcorn today
I got this popper for christmas 2 years ago & never
opened it, but today was the day kids!
(I know... I can feel the excitment too)
I remember making popcorn when I was a kid
we had a popper similar to this
Only the top was made of glass rather that plastic
So when I saw this fancy machine
at the store I had to have it...
(Even though it took me 2 years to take it out of the box)
FACT:
It kicks microwave popcorn's ass!
I decided to photo document the popcorn popping process
since I have nothing else to talk about

Well, that was just fascinating, how the corn was first hard and shelled, and then suddenly, by putting it in a machine called a popcorn maker, it becomes light and fluffy. Fascinating.
You know, no matter what your age or ethnic background, it is never too late to learn. Thank you Jen!! :)
Zed,
That's what I'm here for...
To teach
Just call me sensei
Brilliant!,
I had my nostrils buried into the screen, and I swear I could smell the popcorn.
Thank you Sensei!
I'll have to wipe the screen now though...
Perfect Jen!
I would like to know if you will invite me over for popcorn after the BBQ?
all are welcome!
We had that popper when I was a kid, as well...I tried to explain to my son about jiffy pop, and television before the days of VCR's and such, when a snoopy special was the major event in a grade schooler's life. He thought it was hysterical.
LOL!
Kids will never understand
the days of waiting for the Great Pumpkin & Rudolph to come on tv!!!
There is only one kind of popcorn I like now... and it is Pop Secret Homestyle Microwave with land o'lakes butter... and the sad thing is... I can't get it in Canada. :(
Let's see, if I start out now and drive the 5 minutes it takes to cross RI (adding of course crossing ANOTHER state that actually has some people in it), then I could be to you in about 2 hours or so, maybe less!
I hope you have some popcorn left! See you in a bit!! :)
looks yummy Jen.
Zed, I liked your story regarding this popcorn maker invention. It adds that much more to Jen's photos.
We have a hot air popper. It sucks. A new popper may be on the Christmas list this year.
Jen: Does your popper require oil?
I LOVE POPCORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yummy.
Now I have to have one of those.
It does require oil
but I bought that "smart balance" brand oil
it's supposed to be "better" for you
=)
Oh baby! Popcorn is the best!
I bought my wife a real live popcorn machine last year. We've gone through 2 and a half 50 lb bags of popcorn since then. =)
