Popcorn: Smoke it, or Eat it
I love popcorn.
Not the sh*tty microwaved crap that gives you cancer, but the DIY kind I make in a big cast iron pot with normal popcorn kernels and a little oil.
That way I get to flavor it however I want.
Sometimes I just sprinkle liberally with salt and eat it with a packet of Junior Mints (don't knock it till you try it). Other times I eat it with soup, like croutons (again with the knocking and the trying).
But usually just plain with salt. I am lucky - my cholesterol may be through the roof, but I could eat a box of Morton's salt and my blood pressure wouldn't so much as quiver.
I digress.
Tonight I made a pot and sprinkled it with a mixture I made with the following spices: Old Bay, turmeric, ground coriander, Madras curry, and sea salt.
Which turns out to be a combination that curiously smells like marijuana.
It's the weirdest thing.
Thank goodness I am making a BIG pot of popcorn, because from the smell of it I am going to have the munchies later.

Popcorn and Junior Mints go hand in hand. You can't watch a movie without them.
