Popcorn Chronicals

We went to the movies yesterday. We don’t do it very often because it typically requires a small loan, but this time we were lucky. We got the matinee price…SCORE! For $5 each, we watched The Adjustment Bureau. It’s not like you think it’s going to be (more religious undertones than governmental, as I was expecting). It’s good and makes for a good date movie. There’s enough action for the guys and enough love story for the girls. The ending is a little predictable and could have been a lot stronger to match up to the rest of the film. What I’m getting around to is that we also shared popcorn and a drink.

This morning I wake up to read that a large popcorn is calorically equal to 3 Big Macs. Holy cow! Thankfully, we didn’t eat the whole thing.

We eat popcorn quite a bit around here. I typically make it in the Whirley Pop.

I keep white and yellow popping corn on hand. We season with melted butter and powdered popcorn seasonings like white cheddar and kettle corn.

I also have a box of this on hand from my mom. It’s quite tasty as well, and I love that it’s my namesake. I drew a unibrow on the Frida-looking lady on the box.

The boys LOVE popcorn. Tucker does flips, and Oscar waits patiently for his next piece.

This is blurry because he'll bite your fingers off!
