Why not popcorn?<br /><br />I don't remember ever using a Dutch oven to cook popcorn on the stove. Once or twice we used one of those old fashioned stove top popcorn poppers with the hand crank. More often we used Jiffy Pop in the aluminum pan. <br /><br />I need to buy an electric popcorn popper (NOT an air popper, ugh) because I just know I would burn the popcorn on the stovetop. Microwave popcorn is convenient, but it just isn't the same. My favorite way to eat popcorn is drenched in lotsa buttah. Jelly Belly buttered popcorn jelly beans are one of my all time favorite candies.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7261889568430251361.post-88480858087202357852009-07-27T12:54:16.610-05:002009-07-27T12:54:16.610-05:00I only eat popcorn popped on top of the stove, eve...I only eat popcorn popped on top of the stove, every night! <br /><br />I have never tried seasoned popcorn but I'll have to give your's a try.PictureGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760698288667565127noreply@blogger.com
