Sing America , blend right in
Song of the home we all knew
The place of our start , our heart
Way ahead of me to the gap
Years before , building proud
Names , reach out to everyone
Standing there , cheering loud
Smoke filled the rooms like
Velour on the walls
A country place , still , but wider
Tunesmiths , pickers now gathered
Songsters for Americana bide
In the TB Times , a back page fluff piece was on ' Sexy Popcorn '
The timing is priceless. Twice , using the stove and a pan, I made popcorn the old fashioned way. No MW bag for me , nope , pan , oil and kernels.
The popcorn brand was ' Pop Secret ' but the popping was not dynamic. Hard bits were common. Twice , then , I hurt my teeth ,chewing on the nuggets.
Yesterday , M found a MW popcorn popper. MW popcorn popper ? ....... Its a melmac ( ? ) bowl w/ a plastic lid that has side vents for steam release. the results were dynamic ... big fluffy popcorn pieces.
Terrific !!
OK Sexy Popcorn. Small bags of flavoured popcorn. Why isn't popcorn sexy :
1 ) sticks to your teeth
2) its dry and dusty
3) flavoured popcorn e.g. " bangin ' cheddar " stains your fingers
4) too crunchy is not sexy ( a stereotype , no doubt )
5) that bloated feeling ... not sexy
6) irregular shapes are not sexy
Well , I'm happy w/ the MW popcorn maker. I'm showing it off to-day w/out the sex.
signed , the ' happy popper '
