This is the one my wife and I got for our wedding, along with about six different types of popcorn. We've still got popcorn left, and that popper gets used very frequently. Greatest smell ever!!

 

For about $75, you'd have a popper and lots of popcorn, oil, and that special coconut butter flavoring that makes it so tasty!

Have you used it to make roasted/glazed nuts or trail mix? It says in the description that it can be used for that as well, so curious if you've done that with it.

It used to be more relaxed where I work, but someone who doesn't work here anymore ruined it for all.

 

Guy got too drunk when the company went out to watch the World Cup game, and fell asleep under his desk. Needless to say he was fired that afternoon.

Socially, always. Working lunch, can't, silly.

Years ago, when I worked in an actual office (as a receptionist), our department would go out to lunch fairly regularly ... always something to 'celebrate.' I'd always have a drink ... sometimes a strong one, sometimes two. I never 'ruined' it for anyone, though. But in one of my 'sillier moments' when someone came in to see the owner of the company, and I didn't believe who he said he was and asked to see his ID, it was a good thing the owner of the company thought it was really funny that I had just ID-checked the then Chief of Police for the city of Minneapolis.

Happy Monday! 

Today is National Guacamole Day! Specifically, National Spicy Guacamole Day! I celebrated this holiday 1 day too early by making fresh guac yesterday... Avocados are delicious, and they were on sale at the grocery store.

Today is also National Pickle Day! Pick your poison today.... Pickle chips, baby dill pickles, whole pickles... The world is your oyster!

Also, on this day in 1969, Apollo 12 blasts off to explore the moon once again. Charles Conrad, Jr.; Richard Gordon, Jr.; and Alan Bean were the astronauts on this flight.

I love avocados and guacamole. But I don't want either on my burger, maybe other things, but not my ground prime rib burger, nope ... just not what I like, but whatevs.

 

Pickles ... varies. The sharper the dill, it gives me heartburn. I like the sweeter bread and butter pickle. Fried pickle chips? omg, yes! With the right dipping sauce, bring it on.

Fried pickles.... mmmm. One of the go-to's for bar food IMO. That and chips with queso AND guac! 

FTFY. ;)

 

There's a place nearby me that has the best fried pickles ... I never liked them until I had them there. I wish they'd bring back their fried cheese curds, though ... omg ... BEST. EVER! Good thing I don't eat out that often.
