Binge

I've really been on a popcorn kick lately. The real stuff-not made in a microwave. The bad stuff-not popped in an air popper. Mine is cooked in the old school 70's style plastic dome popcorn maker--you remember the kind--it had the butter well on the top that you were supposed to put the butter in and as it melted it would gradually "rain" down on the popcorn. After the popping was over, you were supposed to flip the popcorn maker over so that the domed lid became your bowl. Very efficient, but I've never used either feature. I prefer to dump the freshly popped corn into a big bowl, where I then fold in the butter (that I have melted in the microwave) and give a few hearty shakes of kosher salt over the top. Heaven.
