when we were kids popcorn was a special treat. mom had a big 4 or 6 quart pot with a lid. she would cover the bottom with vegetable oil and then put it on the stove. back then we always had gas stoves. once the oil was good and hot she would then cover the bottom of the pot with popcorn. then put the lid on. popcorn would start popping. really the best part of the whole thing was the smell. it smelled wonderful. then she would pour melted butter and salt over the popcorn and give us each a little bowl. it never really seemed like very much popcorn but all the work that went into it and the smell was what made it worth it. thinking back on all the work that mom did all the hours all the clean up all the cooking. that's only one tiny part of all the stuff she did. she was living the dream.
