Popcorn

imageMost people think a popcorn kernel looks drier than the desert, but actually contains a tiny bit of water and starch beneath the hardshell.
When heated, the water turns to steam and expands.
The expanding steam causes the shell to burst open and turn inside out, and transforms the kernel’s starch into that fluffy white stuff.


Is popcorn good for anytime, or is it just for movies? 
How about football games?  I’m starting to think about the Superbowl.

About 10 years ago, I bought one of these popcorn poppers for Don as a gift. 
He is the official popcorn maker in this house, and using this pot is the official manner in which it is popped.

I like parmesan cheese sprinkled on my bowl of popcorn.  Don likes salt.
