Christmas time is in full swing around our house, and the neighbour’s, and the many other denizens of these northern climes. We’re all gussied up, our stockings are hung by the chimney (electric fire place) with care, a recipe is in the works for Santa’s evening cookie and nog and presents are beginning to pile up

Here we go again with another completely out of season dish. I’m so sorry! Seriously, I can’t help myself right now. I go down the produce aisles of our local grocery store and I am completely mesmerized by the fresh produce. There it is, staring back at me, so fresh and brightly coloured. I’m like

Popcorn. Lovely, buttery, crunchy, melt in your mouth, popcorn. I could eat it everyday. Sadly, my thighs might begin to hate me, should I feed “the baby” popcorn everyday. There is much to say and bicker over when it comes to the creation of the perfect popped kernel. Some things to think about: What kind
