Relaxing Day...

Today was busy, simple, but yet relaxing and peaceful. I went to my early morning classes and was home by one in the afternoon. So, instead of just bumming around and watching television or studying for that matter. I decided to make some banana bread and while the kitchen was a mess and the dishes were already dirty, I also made some delicious cookies. Along with my afternoon in the kitchen, I washed up all my dirty clothes, my bed sheets, jackets and snowboarding gear. After I had started these projects I also decided to clean out my car and wipe down the dash. Whew, after a day like that I felt I deserved a evening on the couch with a big bowl of the good ol' fashion stove top popcorn and the Olympics.

Fresh Popcorn
Ol' Fashion Popcorn

Grandma Pawlowski's Popcorn 

1/4 to 1/2 Cup of Popcorn Kernels (Orville Redenbachers Kernels)

2-3 Tbsp Orvielle Redenbachers Popping Oil 

Pop in a normal kettle with a lid on medium heat (about 5 to 6) and shake often OR buy 

a stovetop popper that works pretty slick. I'll have to 

admit its easier then the normal kettle, but whatever 

works best for you.

You pop it until the popping comes to the bare minimum 

Take it off, put it in your favorite popcorn bowl,

and top it off with your choice of toppings 

(mine are Sea Salt and Melted Butter)

and ENJOY!
