Summer Holiday Weekend Recap
Hello and happy Monday to you! Did you melt this weekend? My Lord it was hot. And what do you do when you're us on a hot weekend? Dig out a tree obviously. 😑 Remember the pic of the tree from last week after the landscapers hacked it up? It went bye-bye. We were going to attempt to save it to possibly see if my friend could plant it at her new home (even though it should be done when dormant.) Well, after determining the roots attach to the Earth's core, we had to scrap that idea. We tried to get out early enough but it wasn't. We hacked off the top in sections using some really great pruning shears that made that job super easy then the Mr lobbed off the top so we could begin on the roots. We bought a shovel called the Root Slayer and I will say it did an amazing job getting through most of it.

I love Chicago mix popcorn from Garrett. That is my absolute favorite of all time. Mmmm, could go for some now actually!
ReplyDeleteI like buttered popcorn and kettle corn. I also get the odd craving for Smartfood with all it's white cheese powder glory.
ReplyDeleteWe have a little popcorn shop here that makes all sorts of flavors, candy coated, caramel, taco seasoned, ranch etc. Because they have all the flavors, I can't pick a favorite. I do often go for the mixes though, like caramel and cheddar. Never did like kettle corn, but I also do not like salted caramel. But a chocolate covered pretzel? Yes please!
ReplyDeleteCan you call it popcorn if the first ingredient is sugar? That would have been my first clue there is a problem but I'm not a big fan of sweet popcorn. I do agree with The Mr. that Chicago mix is one of the best. I love cheesy popcorn and mix my own Alton Brown Umami popcorn sprinkle mix. I'm also a sucker for a good BBQ or a mix of hot wing and ranch flavors. I rarely like kettle corn but the guy that was selling it at Magnolia Farms had an awesome product. Fresh is best.
ReplyDeleteWell, sugar is in the flavor title so it's got that going for it. ;-)
DeleteI'm kind of a plain jane and either like just buttered popcorn or caramel corn. Booooring. LOL
