The Best Stuff on Earth -- Popcorn!

Ladies and gentlemen! Let me introduce to you the best stuff on Earth! I call it popcorn. Oh! You have heard of it? Ya, well you haven't heard of my popcorn. (Or maybe you have because it's not really mine) So my dad opened my whole world the day he taught me about popping popcorn over the stove. I could eat this stuff from sunrise to sunset and probably all through the night too! It is probably my FAVORITIST food (can we make that a word? I vote yes...). You may think that you love popcorn and you use something like Pop-Secret, Orville or any other microwavable popcorn. But please! For your own sake, just try this method. It makes the best popcorn that is light and fluffy and not weighed down by a whole bunch of artificial, by-product butter junk (which makes the popcorn taste like the salt flats of the Great Salt Lake) And this method of making popcorn is so much better for you as far as sodium and cholesterol! And without butter and other add-ons, popcorn is actually a healthy, low-calorie snack. Just add a little sea salt and it is better than any of that so-called "popcorn". This is the real deal, lets not lie here......

What you will need:

• A deep saucepan
• olive oil (others work such as safflower, sunflower, grapeseed, coconut, etc.)
• popcorn kernels (yellow corn kernels pop the best)

1. First you put the desired amount of kernels into the pot. Just remember that four tablespoons makes about two quarts so a little pops into a lot.
2. Pour oil in so that each kernel is coated in some. Shown below.
3. Turn on stove to as high as it will go.
4. As soon as the popcorn has been popping for about thirty seconds, shake the pan a little bit just to make sure the already popped popcorn won't burn.
5. As soon as there is three seconds or more between each pop, then turn of the stove immediately and shake the popcorn around to catch any of the last little kernels waiting to pop.
6. Pour into a bowl and if you add just a little bit of sea salt, your whole popcorn experience will become a lot healthier in a yummier way than you thought possible.
