Pop-kerrrn

I've recently discovered/fallen in love with stove top popcorn (thanks to Ben/Adie). :) It tastes SO much better than microwave popcorn, and it's not nearly as hard to make as I thought it would be. I found a new popper at a thrift store and have started making it about once a week with Lewis (he loves it, too). He calls it pop-kerrrn. :)

He's kind of impatient, so I have to be careful that he doesn't reach up and grab the hot popper on the stove (maybe I'll move the operation to the back burners next time...duh).

Come on, popper! Hurry up.

Pop-kerrrn, please, Mama. :(

 Still nothing.

At last. The ten or so minute wait was worth it.

I've been using this recipe, and I add in Ben's tips. I do not use any additional butter (just the canola oil), and I add the salt at the end instead of in the oil. So, so, so good.
