The Popcorn Patio

Since we have been having so much time off of work, we have been spending a lot of time on our "patio" or should I say the concrete slab beside our RV in the RV park. Rex sit beside that big gASS grill being inspired.



For some reason the grill made him think of popcorn and not just any popcorn-it had to be white popcorn. So we made a trip to the store and found popcorn that didn't come in a microwavable bag. Who knew Jolly Time popcorn comes from Sioux City, Iowa?? For some reason I found that really interesting.



This heavy, very old pressure cooker works wonderfully on the big gASS grill for popping popcorn. So does the "Ove Glove", that grill throws off a lot of heat!!



Look, there was hardly any old maids and do you see even one burned kernal??? Nope, it was perfect...



Doesn't that look like a delicious BIG bowl of popcorn?? In the white cup is melted butter and in the clear container is grated Parmesan cheese. Being the adventurous people we are, we also had some with sugar and some with just butter and salt. The batch with sugar, while tasting like caramel corn on the kernels that the sugar landed on, it tended to just burn the bottom of the plan---we are not trying that flavor again!! The dishwasher (me) hated it.

Anyway it was really fun to make popcorn the old fashioned way. It is not as hard or as time consuming as you might think. Try it, it was fun!!

Oh just a note about tomorrow....my usual Farmer's Market blog will be missing. I have to work. I have to work 6 AM to 2 PM, so I won't be able to go to the Farmer's Market, but I am pretty sure I will be able to go next Tuesday!
