Popcorn is so good

We have been doing a winter CSA.  It comes once a month and has been incredible.  We get lots of root veggies and some greenhouse greens.  We also get some fun surprise stuff like beans, dried chiles, sundried tomatoes... and popcorn.

This is by far the best popcorn I have ever had.  It is amazing.

Stovetop Popcorn is super easy.  Even if you don't have one of the fun contraptions seen above.  Just use a large pot that has a lid that will fit. 

Put your pot on Med-High heat.  Add 2 T oil and 1/2 c popcorn kernels.  Pop the lid on. Shake the pot to coat the kernels and let sit until you hear popping.  Once your kernels start to pop start shaking your pot constantly over the burner.  Use pot holders! You will need to hold the lid on, but slightly off to allow steam to escape. You will be doing this while you are shaking your pan.  When the popping starts to slow to a couple seconds between pops, you are done.  Remove from heat immediately. Pour your popcorn into a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and your choice of toppings.  We have been doing garlic pressed into melted butter, pour over popcorn and grate parm on top.  Mmmmmmmmmm.
