after a conversation yesterday I had an urge for popcorn…

I love theatre popcorn a lot and sometimes eat the entire bag before the movie even starts, lol…

I used to have the bags that were nuked, but now I make it in the microwave in a glass measuring cup with a cover and put a tiny bit of oil on it when it is popped…

last night I decided to make some and poured butter on it as a treat…

you have to pay attention when it is cooking… if the popping slows down too much the popcorn burns…

as I was preparing it, I remembered doing an event with my dad at his work… I was maybe twelve… he had arranged for a popcorn cart and we made the popcorn fresh for the guests… it was fun…

great memories…

my family loves the stuffing that I make…

it is a simple recipe… butter, onions, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, water and torn up bread…

while the butter was melting I used the mandolin to dice up the onion… while they cooked I added the poultry seasoning, salt and pepper… once the onions were soft I added in the water and let it simmer for a few minutes…

once the liquid is poured over the bread, I stir it in… then I put it into the bread bags and it goes into the fridge…

I make a lot because it is so popular, lol…

some goes into the turkey, some goes into muffin pans, and if there is any left it will go into a casserole dish with the turkey neck, or some other poultry part…

the kids really like the stuffing muffins;-)…

I made it today so there is less to do on Monday for dinner…

also made fresh cranberry sauce…

some of the family prefer the kind that comes in a can so I have that available as well…

really enjoy getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner… reminds me of all the times that my beloved and I prepared for special meals…
