Popcorn and a movie
Our usual Wednesday afternoon outing was cancelled yesterday so Elliott and I decided we’d make popcorn and watch Finding Nemo while Isobel slept, given the weather was not conducive to much outdoor play. It sounded good to me and it seemed to sound good to Elliott. But once the popcorn ran out, so did Elliott’s interest in the movie. He doesn’t really have the attention span for movies yet, which I don’t mind. He is only three after all and I don’t want him to grow up too fast. Although it seems he may be more abreast of popular culture than I would have thought possible for a three year old, as he kept calling the movie Finding Emo. 
The popcorn was pretty good, though. It’s called kettle corn and I made it following the recipe here. It must be an American thing, because everyone I’ve made it for asks me what it is and how to make it. The salty/sweet combination is really good and very addictive. And it’s gluten-free, which pleases my gluten intolerant friends, and much to the delight of my sister, Anna, it’s also suitable for vegans!
