Well not a real storm but a snack storm. Our family is addicted to popcorn and with 3 teenage boys those little bags can cost us a small fortune. Tonight we broke out the ol' air popper. Its a healthy and inexpensive alternative to those microwaveable bags. We picked up a Presto air popper a while back for about $20. A big bag of popcorn kernals runs about 75 to 99 cents for a pound bag. Our popper only uses 1/2 a cup and makes a huge bowl.
We like to add different toppers like butter, ranch, and cheese powders for added flavor. You don't use oil so you cut the ungood stuff out as well as extra expense. The kids get a kick out of watching it pop too.
Here's an interesting article comparing microwave verses loose kernal popcorn.
