Popcorn

Blogging about Popcorn may seem odd. It is such a simple treat. But I have such vivid memories of having popcorn as a family. This was well before the simple microwave versions were invented. Homemade popcorn on the stove is a must.

1. In a very heavy pot heat some peanut oil

2. Add the popcorn kernals

3. Pop until the top comes off.

4. Toss into a big bowl

5. Add some butter back into the hot pan, melt, pour over the popcorn

6. Salt to your liking

7. Must have a glass of milk along side

So this is our family "recipe". No microwave version tastes quite the same.

Sunday Night Dinner

We had shrimp tacos for dinner with a black bean and corn salad.
For dessert we had grilled peaches with a mixed berry sauce topped with a dollop of Cool Whip Light.

For the tacos:
Guacamole
2 Avocados
1/2 yellow tomato
1/2 red tomato
1 lime
tsp of chopped garlic
salt and pepper
Shrimp
Marinated in Tequila Lime and Grilled
Whole Wheat Tortilla Shells

Black Bean Salad
1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 can corn (rinsed and drained) [I used frozen but the equivalent of 1 can]
1/2 yellow tomato diced
1/2 red tomato diced
1 small green pepper (home grown so very small) diced
1 small spicy pepper (very finely diced)
1/4-1/2 cup store bought fajita seasoning
Few splashes of hot sauce
