Ode to my WhirlyPop

On a recent trip to Frankenmuth for the day, we walked though the Riverplace shopping center, and stopped in at the Popcorn Wagon, where something I had been looking for caught my eye: a shiny new Whirly Pop.

I like popcorn.

I like popcorn ALOT.

I do NOT like Microwave popcorn (ew). The only think it has going for it is the smell. Smells good but tastes, to me, like butter flavored cardboard.

A few years ago, I got a whirly pop for Christmas...and I use it every day, sometimes a few times a day, until It looked like this:


A quick cell phone call to my husband gave me permission to go in and buy it :-) woo hoo.

We made some kettle corn today in it...preheat the pot, and add 1/4 c. of oil, 1/4c. of sugar, and the popcorn (I used more like a half cup of popcorn...:-)), and a touch of salt. Amazing. As I type this I'm eating some...and making my keyboard all greasy! LOL.
