learn by doing – popcorn in a brown paper bag.

WELL GOSH DARN IT!

IT WORKED!  IT ACTUALLY WORKED!

i have to admit that my jaw did drop.  more than a little.  same with mohawk.  same with the friend i had over.

it just seemed a little… to simple to actually work.  i mean, have you seen those microwave bags you get at the grocery store?  i would need scissors to break into it at times if those handle side pull tabs didn’t work so well.

and the butter.  lots of it.

or fake butter.

even if it says real butter… we know.

there’s just WAY TO MUCH OF IT!  let’s cut down a little on all the fake crap shall we?

– SO –

the paper bags. (forget how much they cost, not much)  the plain popcorn kernels. (3.99, at my local sobeys)

i carefully opened up the blog post in which i originally saw this.  the lovely kerry k. taylor over at squawk fox has taught me many a good trick.  this one seemed too good to be true.  but i went for it.  How to Microwave Gourmet Popcorn in a Brown Paper Bag.

just as kerry laid out ever so carefully step by step – wouldn’t you believe it – i had the same results!  (my paper bag did start standing up like hers did, by the end of the microwaving it had fallen on its side, no big deal)

only thing i may change next time would be to splurge and see if the orville kernels taste better than grocery store brand kernels.

i urge you – go do it now.  or don’t forget to leave yourself a little reminder for the next time you’re in the grocery store.

now you can have whatever flavour you want!  and you can recycle the bag afterwards!  how much did i put into the bag you ask?  a half a cup!  that’s it, that’s all!

my greatest do-it-yourself popcorn go-to seasoning is

– butter
– honey
– salt & pepper

mix and pour over popcorn – yum yum yum!!!!!!  salty and sweet!  so good!

thanks kerry k taylor over at squawkfox!  i will never buy packaged popcorn again!  go check out her blog, she has other yummy flavour topping ideas.
