Popcorn Experiment ~ More Book Blanket Granny Squares

 




I keep reading how freshly popped popcorn, is better after it's been in the freezer, so we tried it.  Honestly, it was not for taste, but for us, it was about traveling with home popped popcorn.

We do not like microwave popcorn, and while it's portable, we prefer home popped popcorn, with real butter and real seasonings.

First, a metal bowl is not the way to mix in your butter and seasonings.  The popcorn just slides around.  A large Tupperware bowl worked a lot better.  I added butter and seasoning, and put the popcorn in a freezer bag.  It tasted great after taking it out at another time to enjoy and "test" the freshness. 

Next test will be to see if it travels well (camping, hiking, weekend getaway etc) after taking it out of the freezer. 



Sharing a few more crocheted book blanket granny squares. . . .not in any particular order, as I'm working on "catching up" with this project.



The Leslie Meier book was easy to match, but the other book was a bit of a challenge.  It all depends on the light too, as the green yarn matched the green on the book in daylight here.  The side binder is the burgundy as well as some of the text on the front of the book, but I was not about to buy yarn to do a "perfect" match either.  

The Leslie Meier books are one of my favorite authors to read, and I completely forgot I had them.  They were somehow (gulp) packed into our bedroom closet, so the clean out produced more clean out, ha ha!  There are many more to read in that series too.

The rain returns again later today.  It will be visiting us more often than not the rest of the week too.

Popcorn is one of our favorite treats. I look forward to hearing what you think about it after is has been frozen.
I'm slightly weird - I actually like day old popcorn. We eat it several times a week and never get tired of it.

Popcorn fan ere too. Interesting about freezing it. I'll give it a try if I ever have room in my freezer!
Jeanna, we froze it once here at home, and it was just as it was fresh. We want to freeze it and take it traveling next.
Debby, that's interesting. I am having fun with the trials here though. We pop ours with a Whirley popper on the stove.
Leigh, I had to laugh about fitting in the freezer. We have really emptied ours over winter, so plenty of space for us.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
