Popcorn Popping

I have a new addiction.  Stovetop popcorn.  I've always loved popcorn, but a couple weekends ago I decided to try popping our own, and boy am I glad I did.  I called my sister for some advise.  It kinda scared me.  I don't know why all I pictured was me burning it all!  Anyway, my sister had written about how her husband is an expert, so I gave them a call to find out their secrets.  The first time we made it we had popcorn coming out of our ears! I didn't realize so little would make so much.  It was tasty. 

Later in the week I wanted to find some excuse to pop some more.  I had gone out and bought some kettle corn seasoning that I wanted to try.  Luckily Everett had a playgroup Valentine party to go to and we were to bring some treats.  So I had my excuse. I would make some homemade cracker jacks!  And of course make extra so we could try it with the kettle corn!  This time Everett was able to try it out.  He wasn't too sure of it at first, but really enjoyed it once it started going.

It finally started popping! He couldn't quite shake and stare at it at the same time :)

All popped and ready to eat

He was so excited to test it out!

Once again I made a huge batch.  We still have a ton of caramel corn left over.  Everett doesn't mind it at all.  He gets his helpings in everyday now.  I ate the kettle corned portion pretty quickly! It was delish.  There was of course a re-occurrence this past weekend.  I honestly could make this all the time now!
