Popped Perfection – Part Deux

April 21st, 2008 · 6 Comments · Humor, Popcorn, Reflections, Tom & Me

 Apparently, last time I didn’t pick up many popcorn lovers, alas.  However, that is not going to deter me one whit from posting my Part Deux to that delightful, ultimate gourmet food that Tom and I both savor. Well – we don’t eat nearly as much as we used to, but still enjoy the "gourmet" [...]

However, it was total magnanimity on my part to keep in [...]

The Ultimate Gourmet Food

April 25th, 2005 · 9 Comments · Humor, Philosophical, Popcorn, Reflections, Tom & Me

Being of humble origins, I find it difficult to get caught up in the current big craze surrounding various expensive gourmet coffees such as Starbucks and Gevalia.
