Old Fashioned Popcorn

February 28, 2009

I know, not very complex, but tasty nonetheless.  If you make popcorn from scratch, you will never go back to that microwave stuff in a bag again.  A bag of corn kernels is a lot cheaper too.  You can typically pay under $3 for a bag of kernels that will pop a good 20 full [...]
