Popcorn

How do you eat popcorn?
Do you smother it with lots of butter and salt? I do after I air pop it under the guise of making it more healthy. Can anyone just eat one popped kernel and then walk away -like they claim you cannot do with Lays potato chips. I know I can't just eat one or two. I am the only one in my family that really likes popcorn yet when I make a batch I make a large bowl so I can eat it for a day or two. Yep it only last a day or two. Every time I walk by I have to grab a mouthful then cram it into my mouth as white stuff goes flying onto the floor and down my shirt.
It always amazes me when I go to get undressed at night after eating popcorn to find a secret "stash" for the midnight munchies in my bra. (I cannot I am admitting to this) In my mind I can picture many of you giggling - but admit it there has to be at least one other person (Female) that has found something in their clothing (bra) at one time or another.
Popcorn to me is like a guilty pleasure. I cannot go the movies without ordering a extra large tub that I manage to consume at least more than half before the previews are over. It was the one snack I had to have every night when I was pregnant with both children. It can be topped with so many decadent toppings that range from sweet to salty to spicy (although that is not one of my favorite ways).
The tragedy though is that as I am getting on in years I cannot eat popcorn without some consequences later. It seems to not like my digestive system anymore so I am limited to the times I can eat my little delicate buds of white, buttery goodness. I long for the days in the past when I could consume the large bowl and dream of another tomorrow.
The sweet sound of kernels popping open, beckoning me to consume you has come again. Oh the sweet taste of butter and salt that coat my lips, pieces flying everywhere as I greedily consume you. The suffering of later cannot diminish the pleasure of now.
Time to munch!
