Let me just say, the truffle oil 99% of the people here are talking about, is fake. (Go ahead, run and check your bottles. Does it say truffle aroma? Fake. A chemical compound made in a laboratory that tries to capture the essence of truffle.) That being said, I love fake white truffle oil. I just ate it on mashed potatoes tonight. I’ve never eaten real truffles, so I can’t really compare it, but I swear I could splash the fake oil on everything. The real purpose of my post is to inform people this delicious imposter is available in grocery stores for about $8-12 for a smallish bottle. It isn’t a huge splurge and once you eat it on potatoes, you’ll never want them plain again. Oh and truffle salt? Same thing. No real truffle pieces in it.

We enjoy trying out new seasoning mixtures on our popcorn. Just go through your seasonings and look for interesting mixtures. BBQ seasonings are great, chili powder, garlic… you get the idea. We also grind pistachios up real fine and add that to the mix. You can even add prepared mixes like powdered ranch dressing mixes. The possibilities are endless. For Christmas, I make a wonderful white chocolate popcorn. I put some raspberry flavoring in a spray bottle and spray the freshly coated white chocolate popcorn with it, and the flavoring mixes with the chocolate.

Oooh, popcorn! I love me some popcorn! My favorite is with butter and cheddar cheese powder (from AtlanticSpice.com), but I love plain butter too.
Popped in a pan is the best, but I usually just use a hot air popper…

I also do my popcorn in a brown paper bag on the popcorn setting in my microwave (I actually close the bag with 2 small staples and have never had a problem). I spray it with butter Pam after it’s popped and add Lawry’s Garlic Salt. Makes for a “light” snack–especially since I eat the whole bag myself.

In Pam Anderson’s book PERFECT RECIPES FOR HAVING PEOPLE OVER, she has a recipe for curry popcorn. Basically, you pop it the old-fashioned way with oil in a pot on the stove, only add some salt and curry powder at the beginning. The spices bloom in the oil, and each kernel is coated with curry and salt. So good.

Yes, it takes up too much space. Yes, it is a tad messy. And yes, it is super fun to make popcorn and watch movies at home. In fact, we always make our own popcorn here at home BEFORE we go to a movie and then I smuggle it into the theater in my oversized Cole Haan bag! Never again will you eat cold, stale and greasy popcorn from a theater after buying one these babies!
