===================
 NB> never even got one of those air poppers, Richard has always just
 NB> popped the corn on the stove, using a regular light-weight aluminum
 NB> pan, no oil, just finesse...

If you can, that sounds fine. I always used oil, not
having the confidence to do it without.

 NB> grabbed Daddy's old popcorn popper for nostalgia's sake... the old
 NB> (steel?) pot on wooden legs (painted red in this case) that you plug
 NB> into an outlet, and then turn the hand crank on the top so that nothing
 NB> sticks... :) 

I remember those. There were also crank ones, as I recall,
that you used on top of the stove.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Crispy Popcorn
 Categories: Budget, Corn, Snacks, Tv
      Yield: 6 Cups

    1/4 c  Corn- popping
      1 tb Oil

  Put 1/4 cup of popping corn and a tablespoon of oil in a large pot.
  Cover and heat, tossing every 30 seconds or so. After a few minutes
  the carn should start popping.

  Turn the heat low, and do not lift the lid as very hot corn can pop
  right out of the pan into someone's eye! Shake the pot occassionally
  so that the unpopped corn falls to the bottom.

  After you have heard no more popping for 2 minutes, open the pot,
  keeping small faces away from it. Serve the popcorn just as it is,
  straight away.

  ** VARIATIONS: Pour about a tablespoon of melted butter or bacon fat
  over the popcorn, and toss. Sprinkle with a little salt as you like.

  ** Tip the popcorn out of the pan and put 2 to 3 tablespoons of dry
  sugar into a hot pan. Do not stir, but heat it gently until it turns
  liquid, tilting the pan occasionally.

   When the sugar has melted, tip the popcorn back into the pan and stir
  until it is thinly coated with the toffee. Tip it onto a tray,
  separating the popped kernals as much as you can. Do not let anyone
  touch it until it has cooled. If you are not going to eat the popcorn
  straight away, put it in an airtight container as soon as it is cold,
  to keep it crisp.
