When my wife first moved in she made me watch all of Little House on the Prairie. Ever since then popcorn has become a regular thing here. It's a perfect low calorie snack.

My standard is peanut oil and popcorn and a little bit of koshi salt on top once it's done. I just use a standard pot for making mine because I'm not about to deal with a popcorn maker.

Sometimes we'll shave some red dark pepper chocolate just sprinkle on top. Sometimes my wife wants Raisinets in hers.

Rarely I'll use Bacon fat instead of peanut oil. On extra rare occasion I might use duck fat.

We never put butter on it because we don't tend to stock salted butter, although that is changing now that I'm making more sourdough. So maybe I will add some water to it in the near future.

What are you doing with your popcorn?

Coconut oil, salt and tajin. Whirly pop for the win. I’ve been using the same whirly pop for about 15 years.

This guy gets it.

Though I use Flavacol instead of salt and tajin - it's exactly what movie theaters use.
