You can market it as Jimmy's Crack Corn.

You can market it as Jimmy's Crack Corn.

Considering that Hec's high school and college friends call him Rock, I can think of all sorts of terribly wrong names for this popcorn.

Which is totally crack-tastic. I ate my bowl, and then shamelessly stole Matilda's and ate it too. I snack-thefted my own offspring, such is the power of this crackcorn.

Do you remember what you put in it, David? Can you recreate the crack?

Pretty much the only useful things I have done since Wednesday night are unpack, deal with bills, go grocery shopping, and put out my Halloween decorations. I even failed to see the Martian, though I am somewhat caught up on the DVR contents.

Work is going to hurt tomorrow.

Do you remember what you put in it, David? Can you recreate the crack?

I do. I'm afraid of unleashing it on the world. It'll be like the Joke that Kills in Monty Python.

Then again, my crack might not be the world's crack. So...

Stayed with my usual go-to of Smoked Paprika (TJ's - you need a good one that actually has the smoky quality) and freshly grated Parmesan. Salt too and a little butter. Then cayenne, and one swirly of Sriracha on top. In the big bowl you can mix with salad fork and spoon, but in a the big soup bowl it's one big spoon and half a hand over the top of the bowl.

So, smoky cheesy mouth tingly spiciness. I'd say I was careful with the cayenne and Sriracha, and reckless with the Parm.

I took my mom out to see The Intern this afternoon, which was exactly the sort of movie she likes with the bonus of getting her out of the house to do something fun and take her mind off her recent medical troubles. That and buying soda was about all I managed to accomplish today, though.

I'm with you until the sriracha. Which I like, but don't think I want on popcorn.

Aww, that's nice Matt!

I didn't really accomplish much (a load of laundry, but my room is still a mess) but I had a good time--Martian with friends, a long walk with another friend, and then dancing for several hours. So that's at least happy, even if I'd still really like another day in the weekend!

Soy sauce on popcorn is good. Salty and a bit of a kick. Freaked out my roommates in college when I ate it like that. But roommates seemed to be easily freaked out--great horror when I was highlighting my textbook with a green marker instead of yellow.

I'm feeling guilt and shame, because. So I'm not there yet.

Ah well, then you're stuck like me. But hey, still better off since you took the day off anyway.

I think that popcorn sounds yummy, only we are avoiding popcorn in our house these days thanks to our clever plan of having two kids in braces at once. But I'm pretty sure the same toppings will work on pan roasted potatoes too.

So my boss is thinking of cancelling the lease for our office and just having both of us work from home. This would save me from two hours of commuting each day, so I say, "Yay!"

If we end up going that route, it would happen in February.
