When I'm feeling decadent, I sprinkle on parm and sometimes truffle salt. When I'm feeling guilty, I make popcorn with no butter or cheese, instead spending a few extra minutes ahead of time to infuse olive oil with rosemary and/or garlic... then pop using that oil. A dust of sea salt at the end is all it needs, especially if you get a good quality popcorn.
That's the most important part, I think -- getting a good quality popcorn. Forget the grocery store stuff and order online from places that carry different varietals or (like I did last time) from the boy scouts who were selling specialty popcorn.

I'm not hep to truffle oil. What is it, and what can it do for me? Thanks in advance.

Hi Bryan, Great question, which lead me to this unexpected answer. I think this warrants its own blog post, but I still enjoy the flavor: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/16/dining/16truf.html?_r=1

an amazing variation... Top it with lightly browned butter with rosemary in it. Then microwave each serving for a few seconds with some shredded parmesan over the top; just enough to melt the parmesan. You'll never go back...

My secret ingredient to good popcorn is lime.
West on March 05, 2010 at 01:17 PM
Lime? i dunno about that, but a good 18-18-21 fertilizer (Miracle gro) should addd something to the taste...

Tom -- Sounds great! Cosmop...tell me more, just lime juice? What's your procedure?

Two tablespoons of truffle oil is about $10...that's some big-bucks popcorn there.

There is NO way you can make good popcorn without coconut oil. Tastes like its fresh from the lobby of your favorite theater.

I prefer my Oscar show popcorn with just real butter and fine sea salt, all washed down with a bottle of Sauternes. It doesn't have to be Chateau d'Yquem but still one of the Premiers Crus.

I CAN'T WAIT to try it with the Parmigiano! I have to say though, a little known bit of info-- most truffle oil is synthetic! I say skip the oil unless you get the real stuff (I think Selezione brand is legit) and use truffle salt. Not the same but definitely delicious.

The browned butter popcorn sounds amazing as well.

Tucked away in our nike air max 2010 mens running shoes subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long nike air max 2010 trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out air max 2009 windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at nike red air max 2009 crossing, of cattle grazing on air max 95 black distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon nike air 95 row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling air max 90 hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain blue air max 90 for women day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags nike air max 180 waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our black nike air max shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, bing the minutes for nike air max light shoes loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for womens nike air max station.Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one air max ltd classic place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of air max shoes store life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more nike air max white mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more women air max shoes sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come men air max shoes soon enough. http://www.sellnikeairmax.com/

Very informative article. Pretty sure people would love to go to that place for shopping. Specially to those who are semi naughty or semi conservative people.
