Once upon a time - this evening acually - the chef was engaged in her normal late nite dinner/snack activity of making popcorn. Neighbours were out a promenading in the warm evening air when she noticed a couple stopped on the sidewalk regarding her GORGEOUS BLOOMING BRUGS. With the pride of the mother who has laboured so long and diligently to overwinter and protect such plants out she went to invite them up into the driveway to appreciate the scent and the full glory of the blooms. Well you know how it is - parental pride and all she yakked for a while. Returning to her kitchen she remembered the lid had not yet been placed upon the popcorn pop. Just imagine!!! LOL Serendipitously the kitchen got a good clean which it needed. I'm not sure Aesop has a moral for this one.
The too proud gardener has a disaster
LOL...good to read even the Pro's have those kind of days!
Popcorn all over kitchen Ithink is better than burnt boiled eggs, setting off fire alarm. just let the dogs in, they would havecleaned it up PDQ.
Maybe Santa will bring you a pop corn machine for Christmas.
I always make mine in a paper bag in microwave. Doesn't burn that way either.
Inanda - who has heard of many kitchen disasters - this is one of the best
Actually I'm one of those fuddy duddies who hates popcorn machines and microwaved stuff. Popcorn should be considered one of the basic food groups in my opinion.
Along with butter.
Good story Lynn. I'm glad it wasn't worse. How long before you got the smell out? lol
The smell of popcorn cooking never leaves my house Liz. It is one of the basic food groups for this crazy woman. With or without cheese, grated chilies, other goodies. Makes it appropriate for just about any meal.
And the Fiber!! Sounds like my brain invaded yours for this episode.
