Eating popcorn

I've just caved to the mid afternoon sugar slump and bought a bag of
toffee popcorn.

It's just not the same without having a reasonable bust up to read
whilst consuming it.

So, who wants to start a fight?

<holds popcorn in readiness>

 

I got this far into this sentence and was thinking: dumpy maybe, but
with the right mechanical assistance you could do OK in this
department.

 

You haven't quite got the hang of this yet....

 

I'll tell you where you can stick your popcorn.

 

<reaches for a bar of plain chocolate>

You reckon?

 

I'll kick you in the gob if it's a help with popcorn consumption.

Toffee popcorn sucks!

<runs away to big bag of salted>

 

<hand hovers over can of coke>

<eyes narrow>

Yeah, I reckon...

 

If you suck all the sugar from it you could then dip it in salt I
suppose.

I got some of that instant salted microwave stuff given me as a free
trial last week - OK in a pinch but you still can't beat a bag of corn
and a big pan. With a lid. If you forget the lid whilst slightly drunk
you find popcorn for *weeks* afterwards.

 

I've lost a bit of weight since I last saw you actually. Though if I
eat enough toffee popcorn I'm sure it will all go back on.

I've not had any complaints.

 

Quite. Once popped, add melted butter and salt. Eat.

 

I like to have some of that around as an emergency snack - like
instant mash or rice, it's one of the few things my stomach can, er,
stomach after a migraine. Bag of popcorn and big cup of sweet tea for
the shock.

Not really tried making it from scratch - fear of the freak accident
potential...

 

My daughter managed to set her bag on fire - be careful out there.

It's been a while since I've had a bad migraine, I tend towards
fishfingers and spaghetti hoops afterwards, bland whilst being salty
and sweet all at once.

Don't ever, ever, make your own popcorn.

I've had a number of 'snowy moments' (as kitchen accidents have
affectionately been named) this week. Missing a chunk of my left index
finger from slicing and a burn on my right hand from hot fat splashing
whilst doing the yummy courgette thing.

Details on the yummy courgette thing, please?

Complete oxymoron.

HTH.

 

I should think not. 'MattG he danger in the kitchen'.

 

I thought that, then I had this. I'm having it again right now
actually, it is that yummy.

 

How I do it and how it is supposed to be done are two entirely
different things, so I expect a correct version may appear.

Slice courgettes thinly, warm oil in deep frying pan, bung thin slices
in to go brown. Put some variety of pasta on to cook. Meanwhile slice
a clove or so of garlic thinly and bung into a bowl. Grate whatever
cheese is handy into said bowl. Bung cooked courgettes and pasta on
top.

Scoff.

 

Nice

Garlicky courgettes a la Nigel Slater is where it's at.

And why not?
