I crave popcorn

Thanks to a friend of mine, microwave popcorn will no longer do when I’m having a craving. Now I need to do it “the right way” on the stove top.

I decided I wanted popcorn, and I set off to make some while we watch the hockey game. When I got to the kitchen I noticed that the pot I usually use to make it was dirty, sitting with the rest of the evening dishes. I figured instead of being lazy and only wiping out the one pot, I would take a few extra moments and do all of the dishes from the evening. Among the plates, glasses, silverware and a few pots, there was one pan with melted-on cheese and a casserole dish that had been in the refrigerator and was soaking. Once I spent 20 minutes loading everything into the dishwasher and using elbow grease on the pan and casserole dish, I was all set to go. I washed out the popcorn pot and lid, dried them, and set them on the stove top. I grabbed the popcorn oil and salt. I went to the cupboard for the kernels. There are no kernels. Bummer.

At least my dishes are done.
