My daughter in anticipation of Christmas has been pouring over the Target ad in the Sunday paper. From the back seat came the statement "maybe sometime we could make real popcorn." She showed my wife a picture of a popcorn kettle advertised in the paper. She lamented the idea that all she knows has been microwave popcorn. She expressed longing for "the old days". We had a greasy popcorn kettle. It was used for nothing else but making popcorn and it seemed to grow it's own oily skin.
As technology presses ahead there are a lot of things that are discarded along the roadside. And sometimes the memory of them is far better than the item itself

My dad, his wife and I were just talking about the same thing this weekend...stove popped popcorn. We were eating microwave popcorn and all we started talking about was "the old days" when we'd either pop it in the air popper or on the stove. We almost got out a cast iron skillet and did it but we didn't have any regular popcorn. I do miss air popped popcorn.
