As the day came toward an end I started to think about what I was most grateful for today. Many things came to mind but I am not going to share them with you today because they will become fodder for future blogs and I just don't want to spoil them for you! I think that is awfully courteous of me! So I'm watching the Sawx/Yanks game in the den while fooling around on my computer. The clock was about to strike nine, "Masterpiece Classic" time for my roommate (aka dad.) Prior to bolting to my room to finish the game he hollers, "want some popcorn?" Of course my answer is a no brainer considering that popcorn is one of my favorite things to eat ever. Not just popcorn, but microwave popcorn. Microwave popcorn has the perfect blend of salt and butter. I think it is so much better than movie popcorn. Movie popcorn drives me nuts because you taste the "butter" flavor in the first few bites and then it is gone. Likewise if you salt it you only get a quick taste on top before it's gone. And the butter is tasteless and feels like oil, which is probably what it is. Funny thing is that after every movie I say that I will NEVER eat movie popcorn again. Yet I order it over and over and eat 90% of every nasty bite of it (and they give you way too much!) Don't get me started on movie popcorn! Now if I could only remember to pop some Orville Redenbacher and throw it in my backpack before I leave for the movies.
So today I am grateful for thoughtful roommates and microwave popcorn.
