And the sauce, (it's always about the sauce), that makes it is not only awesome, it's HEALTHY. A win-win in my books.
So air pop up a batch ' corn, (and if you have no popper, fret not, you can use a T-Fal pan WITHOUT oil and it'll work perfectly once you learn about the secret. Click here for "perfect popcorn", no kidding), then grab a jar and shake up:
2 tablespoons of good olive oil
1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon of teriyaki marinade, (optional)
a few drops of tabasco
a shake of garlic powder
a few cranks of fresh black pepper
a tablespoon of nutritional yeast (LOVE THAT STUFF on the corn)
Toss it in and enjoy.
And experiment with other fav. sauces in the mix, like worchestershiresshore etc...

One Year 19 Lbs lost.
For December 07 to December 08 the job is to lose another 17 lbs.
--
Coming up for nearly a year of Traineo. 22 lbs lost, 13 to go!
What a year! I want to thank Traineo and it's members, and my doctors and friends, and gym, and my walking and running training partner -- my dog -- who all have have been a big part of my recovery from a bad case of pneumonia last August, from high blood pressure in May and June, and support through herniated cervical discs in July August and the present.
Somehow, its been possible to keep the faith and keep going through the neck and arm pain, but even on some of those bad pain days, getting the exercise at the gym, on a C25K run, on a bike ride, or in the surf helps make it bearable.
A year ago -- at least sports-wise, for life is altogether another thing -- I was losing my sense of identity as a surfer and windsurfer, gaining a sense of identity as a cyclist, a runner, 9 months later reentering the surf, losing my ability to ride ... things came and went between hospital visits.
At times, all those things were stripped away -- and just to be able to walk down the block was an accomplishment. There were recoveries and sometimes just advil and bullish efforts.
It's good to be back in the surf and on the bike sometimes, neck/shoulder/arm pain notwithstanding.
My thoughts go out to all those Traineo members out there fighting their own health and spiritual battles...you know we are here in this small way.

Wow, that's interesting.
I'm curious though, I've never noticed two of the ingredients Elise mentions: "high-quality popping kernels" or "nutritional yeast".
Branded microwave popcorn is so ubiquitous, I wonder if the naked popping corn is even on the shelves anymore. Maybe in a special store? I'll have to look a little closer next time. Nutritional yeast also sounds interesting as a way of adding flavor without salt or chees or too many calorie.
Obsolete skills dot com talks about preparing (hydrating) corn to make it poppable the old fashioned way. Just wait 3 weeks ...!
"Store corn in a hermetically sealed glass jar, waiting at least 3 weeks for the humidity to distribute through the kernels. The longer you wait the more thorough the hydration."

Heheh, well 3 weeks is a tad long to feed a craving, IMHO.
I usually just use plain ole store-bought popping corn, which is down to one brand of choices here, but at least it still exists.
And I used to think "nutritional yeast", was the same things as "brewer's yeast", but I see now that though similar, they are each rendered differently and nutritional yeast is what's usually found on the bio-shelves at healthfood stores/sections.
I love adding that stuff to salads too, nice and rich in the B's.

Quoting: McPhilly Branded microwave popcorn is so ubiquitous, I wonder if the naked popping corn is even on the shelves anymore. I think you just have to look, Phil. I buy plain popping corn all the time. In my store, it's in the same area as the microwave version.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
I just snarfed down a HUGE bowl of this stuff, (the bowl escaped with its life by just a margin, ahhhhh PMS), and dammit does it ever hit the ole spot.
I even added *gasp* some salt and I'll likely pay that price tomorrow, but I don't give a damn!
That is all, carry on then...

it's just the time investment that gets to me. frank's is right there, prepared, ready to go.
but nutritional yeast is awesome stuff. i don't remember it tasting great, but the b-vitamins will put you into some conniptions.

Quoting: tdrinkard i don't remember it tasting great, but the b-vitamins will put you into some conniptions. I quite dig the buttery accent it lends to popcorn, the plus without that stuff. Just a tablespoon or two, no crazed amounts or anything...
And as far as the time it takes? Not even a minute when you shake up the ingredients in a little jar. For me, (who loves to cook, and in a speedy fashion), this is well worth the tasty outcome.
