I still love popcorn

And I still want to win the contest for a year's worth of popcorn and a subscription to NetFlix from Elizabeth at Table for Five.

I was still a kid when we had the air popper, but it isn't the real thing. Microwave popcorn, although the convenient way to prepare popcorn is not, to this purist, the best way to prepare popcorn. But there is no question that Orville's microwave popcorn is far superior than any microwave popcorn. I, however, prefer popcorn popped on the stove top with oil. Popcorn that is butterfly shaped has been popped under optimal conditions. The oil is not too hot, the steam has a chance to escape the cooking vessel, it really is the most exquisite way to eat popcorn. It is the mushroom shape that demonstrates a speedy preparation of the real thing. Spend some time learning of the ins and outs of popcorn popping and you will see, that there is no popcorn better than Orville's.

And with that, I am going to pop some glorious popcorn.
