Popcorn Test #2

I checked the popcorn for the second time.  I took 6 kernels and used coconut oil.

The results?


 All six kernels of our Dakota Black popcorn popped.  Yum!

I had to make us our first bowl to snack on.

I used the method of rubbing two ears together to remove the kernels.  I works pretty good with a deep bowl.  I did much better at it this time than our first (2 years ago).  I didn't lose too many kernels to the floor.



The cobs are being saved for campfire starters (again).  


It was a perfect day to start removing the popcorn too.  I just took it outside in a fine strainer and the wind winnowed out the fine hair and other particles.

Very interesting!!! Did you notice a different taste using coconut oil instead of another type?
I have very dry skin and use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Bath Wash, and every time I shower, it smells like cookies. LOL
Hope everyone has a great weekend, and a safe one too.
God bless.

RB, I like the popcorn with coconut oil. Every kernel pops with it, and it tastes great. It does have a different taste, but it's good.

Very interesting...I used to have some of that popcorn that a friend grew and gave me.....great flavor in the homegrown varieties. I'll have to try the coconut oil.

Sam I am, it's about the only thing I use coconut oil for. Aside from frying potatoes. We love it for potato frying (a typical side for a pancake breakfast).

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
