Movie Nights

Lately, in the evening, the wife and I have been revisiting old movies from our youth. Hence, you’ll see a few movie night posts along the way. So let’s get a must out of the way.

Popcorn: I believe we have perfected the art of making it at home through these essentials:
1. Waring Pro Popcorn Maker: Wife purchased this years ago. Not even sure it is made anymore, but there are other brands that are a similar style.
2. Movie Theatre Coconut Popcorn Oil & Flavoring Salt: These work great in the popper and give a great movie theatre popcorn flavor.

Now here is where I go a little rogue. I like to microwave a little bit of Kerry Gold Salted Butter – not that much, a tablespoon or less. Now I dump the popcorn in an older paper grocery bag and drizzle this liquid gold all over the popcorn, then close the bag and shake the hell out of it for 5 seconds or so. That little bit of extra butter flavor just kicks up an already great popcorn a notch. That how my grandmother used to butter popcorn, so it also tastes a little bit like I remember from my childhood. Top notch.

If we are not snacking on popcorn, we are having frozen pizza. More on that later.
