The perfect popcorn recipe

OK, some of ya might know that I am a popcorn addict. I go to the movies sometimes just to munch a bunch of overpriced popcorn. Actually, though, people rave about my own special popcorn, so I am gonna share how I do it. First of all, you have to have the right equipment. Over high heat, you pour in about two teaspoons of light oil. I prefer canola and melt into this 2 teaspoons (one quarter of a stick) of real butter. When the butter is fully melted into the hot oil, cover the bottom of the popper with popcorn at about 1 kernel depth. As the corn starts to pop, begin to slowly turn the handle and allow to pop until the popping stops. Remove from heat, dump the popper into a large paper grocery sack [and yes, I know they are getting harder and harder to get] and salt to taste. Shake the bag a few times to thoroughly distribute the salt and pour into appropriate containers for serving. The hint of butter in the mix provides just the perfect accent to the popcorn. Enjoy with a good movie. If stuck for a choice, I can make a few suggestions.

Hmmm, I'm disappointed with your top 15 movies.

I didn't see a single of my favorites:



  • Caddyshack

  • The Blues Brothers

  • Fast Times at Ridgemont High

  • Animal House

  • The Rocky Horror Picture Show


I could come up with more, but there's a weeks worth for you right off the top of my head. :D
