Toast some whole grain bread. Spread all natural crunchy peanut butter. Add on slices of fresh banana. Drizzle with honey. Cue up _Suspicious Minds_. Now enjoy.

All this popcorn talk is dredging up some memories. When I was growing up, my grandpa had this old cast aluminum pot that he made popcorn in. Like a cast iron pan, he never washed it, so it was very well seasoned. I used to love having popcorn at his house - he used yellow popcorn instead of the white that mom preferred for some reason. The popcorn pot eventually passed to mom and then to me.

Unfortunately we wound up getting a new range with a glass cooktop, and I couldn’t do the “shake the pot across the top of the burner” thing anymore because it would ruin the glass. I think I gave it to my brother, who has a gas range. Now we just use one of those silicone microwave poppers. Which is fine, but it’s not the same.

Oh, I’ll try this. I know coconut oil is typically necessary for the movie theater popcorn, but I despise it. It never seems to come off anything, even my hands.

Coconut oil laughs in the face of Dawn dish soap. Laughs.

Put 4-5 cooked breakfast sausage links in a coffee mug, microwave 30-40 seconds until hot, pour a little maple syrup into the mug for dipping.

I _love_ link sausages with maple syrup.
