I recently discovered (discovered for me- this probably isn't new for people but it's amazing so I thought I'd share) that if you pop (on the stove) and equal ratio of unpopped kernels and granulated sugar, poof! You get *almost* kettle corn. You have to add them at the same time, and with a smidge of oil. The sugar melts and VOILA!
I don't see any way that this wouldn't turn into a big black lump that smelled terrible. Lol.
You have to stir it, right when it goes in, and keep stirring a bit until it starts to pop. Then throw the lid on, and it's like magic!

Also, because popcorn..... Do you ever put Tabasco or Siracha on your popcorn?! That is good. It's also a bar trick to get you to drink more beer, but it's tasty!!

What is WITH people being douchey when they are flamed?!
Even if I started trolling Babycenter and they all started yelling at me for bursting their glitter fart bubbles, I'd probably still feel terrible because people were mad at me. #fftc #peoplepleaser #arethesehashtagsok wanderingheart
I was thinking about this earlier. I am too much of a people pleaser, I would hate coming into a group and being a total douchebag. I certainly can't imagine calling those people bitches as a defense.
MH's UO is that he hates extreme butter popcorn. He is broken and I don't know how this didn't come up in our premarital counseling.
MH won't eat it any other way. If the box doesn't say extreme butter or whatever he won't even buy it. I used to make fun of him at how picky he was but secretly I loved it as much as he did.

Seriously. Someone could be flaming me for loving puppies and I'd probably be like "k you're right I'm sorry!!!!" and back away.

I can still remember (and shudder at) the times I've been flamed online... Legit there was once when I was on the Knot like 9 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday. Thanks but no thanks.

I'm intrigued. I love kettle corn so much. DH knows that any time we are at a fair or festival with it, to immediately but me a bag and grab a few, because that shit will be inhaled soon thereafter!
My sister got me kettle corn for Christmas, and B did not know what that meant. Her face was worth her dumping it in the trash because she thought there was something wrong with that bag.

I can't handle all the butter. If its regular popcorn I will add salt and then m&ms or something to make it the salty/sweet combo. I would choose kettle corn over regular popcorn every.single.time.
as to the microwave/stove, I would rather have microwave but DH and DD love to make it over the stove together. He found an old fashioned kettle that you have to do the oil and there is a little stirring wheel on the lid etc. DD loves it.

Girl. If I don't have to lick the butter off my fingers after eating it, there is not enough on the popcorn.
Flaming for saying something stupid, yes. Lately we've seen a lot of racism and general douchebaggery going on around here. There has been very little middle ground.
I'm not going to lie... It legit boggles my mind that people are able to be racist or discriminatory in this day and age. I just don't get it.
It boggles my mind too. But racism is a slippery beast. There is very visible racism and more subtle variations. Many people choose not to critically examine their opinions/attitudes and just assume that they are fine if they aren't going around proclaiming "I hate black people." Those are the people that I would most like to help to see the error in their ways.
Also, take everything I said above and plug in other categories of people who are frequently discriminated against.

Speaking of adding things, does anybody else put cheese in your popcorn? Like actual cheese, not cheesy powder. DH thinks I'm so weird when I do that but it's so yummy!
And in regards to loving the smell of things, I love the smell of beer breath.
oh my god - legitimately nauseous.
I hate breath, mouths, chewing, food that is chewed, zomg.
Dane Cook (yes, deal with it) does a skit where he talks about a girl spitting on him (I don't know) and he wished it was more of a minty fresh spit instead of a potatoes au gratin spit. GAG. PLEASE STOP.
Zoom in on mouths chewing on TV? No.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Actually, being quoted in UO brings a split second of panic.
See, I don't think the end would be nearly as hectic if the school year was spread out (assuming curriculum stayed the same). More vacations would mean more down time as well so you don't get nearly as frazzled and stressed out by the end of the year.
That being said, I'd still want at least 4 weeks in the summer to do nothing before the next school year. That's usually when I'm ready to get up and do something again.
We do all kinds of special events to commemorate the end of kindergarten- music program, class play, award ceremony, reading restaurant, etc. plus end of year assessments and preparing portfolios for the 1st grade teachers. So it would still be hectic.
UO: I think most of things are lame and at the very least should be spread out over the school year if not abolished. Give them a simple party at the end of the year. Teachers are already overworked and I bet most parents don't have time to deal with those either. I wish we had year round school. I'd even pay out the ass for private school if they offered year round school.
