Riot and Frolic

Let's say you're awesome.  

And, let's face it, you are.

Because you're reading this.  

Now let's say you're hungry.

I'll go ahead and assume you are because I always am and we're friends.

You should go ahead and make some popcorn.  And not the lame microwave kind. 

Stove-Top Popcorn

Ingredients

– oil

– popcorn

Get a large pot and dump a bit of oil in it.  I don't measure; that's for suckers.  Use this much.

Throw a few kernels of popcorn in, cover the pot, and turn the heat on medium-high.  

Drink some water.  It's good for you.  

Once your random kernels pop, that's your sign that the oil is hot.  Pour in enough popcorn to cover the bottom of the pot in a single layer.  I went on the light side since it was band practice night and the little ladies are asleep.  AKA, Kate's eating all this popcorn while watching 30 Rock and drinking a White Russian.

Hang out for a bit.  Let those kernels explode.  Don't mess with it until the pops are 3 seconds apart.  Then you're done!

Empty the pot into a bowl and top with whatever you like.  Me gusta butter y salt.  Or peanut butter.  

Eat.  

Enjoy.

Hunger Games!
