Well.... there ya go. You're not a big fan of pizza, so of course it'll be the easy one to handle.

I only have one problem with eating Pop Corn. I do not know when to stop. I tried buying the small serving bags I just pop 2 or 3 at a time because 1 is never enough.

I do find the light butter is better for my bg that any other type except when I do make it over a camp fire in a cast iron skillet with just a touch of good old fashioned Crisco.

Oh and by the way be sure and purchase a few boxes from your friendly Boy Scout member this fall. Trails End is a great popcorn.

SInce you do not do the microwave popcorn you may try spraying your popper with one of the nonstick sprays. This will help the popcorn pop. Another good way is to put your popcorn in an airtight container and add olive or canola oil. The oil saturates the corn so it does not take as much to pop and so you do not has as much fat after effects. You can actually leave the oil in for days and shake the container from time to time to distribute the oil. Spices can be added to the container to add extra flavor! Yummy. This is anoter trip down memory lane of a few things Daddy used to do with the popcorn to change the flavor. It was a nightly treat growing up without TV.
