What’s your favorite midnight snack?
June 26, 2024 | Sparkle Wednesday
When I was a kid, my dad would regularly make us popcorn as a snack. Not that garbage microwave crap (blasphemy!) We're talking corn popped with love in a heavy pot seasoned with salt, pepper, and butter.
He'd dole it out to us kids from a big, yellow Tupperware bowl (I think most families in the 1970s had one of those). At some point, my parents started using the big yellow bowl for bathing grandchildren. I remember seeing my nieces and nephews getting baths at Grandma and Grandpa's in the popcorn bowl. I digress. Dad would serve it up alongside a glass of Welch's grape juice from the can. Lol. Yum. I was always game for this snack. I have fond memories of enjoying this snack while watching my favorite show, Quincy.
Popcorn is still my favorite midnight (most times earlier) snack, but nowadays, I like to season it with Seoul Sisters Kimchi Seasoning. (Thanks for the tip, Matt!)
What say you? What’s your favorite midnight snack?
Well, there's a family theme here.. popcorn for the win. Made on the stove. We have a completely separate popcorn pan that's pretty much black with burned on whatever. We now have a giant purple bowl for popcorn- I must refute Annie's claim that said bowl was also used as the "throw up bowl" even though I do believe in multi purpose uses for household items..The yellow bowl you reference, Lisa, was indeed also used as an infant bathtub so I guess our Mom believed in that as well. Straight on butter and salt though I don't turn down other varieties.
A memory I am very fond of is making a pop-corn bowl for him after washing supper dishes when he sat on his rocking couch in the living room to watch TV mostly every workday evening —along with a big glass of grape juice blended frozen from a can. He showed me how to make it the way he liked it.
