How Do You Make Your Popcorn?
By Jane Runyon |

1 My grandmother used to make popcorn for me when I visited her. She would take out a heavy cooking pan. She would put bacon grease in the bottom of the pan. Then she would put about a quarter cup of popcorn kernels into the pan. She'd add a little salt, put a lid on the pan, and put it on the old stove. When she heard the first kernels begin to pop, she would take the pan off the stove and shake it. Back onto the heat the pan would go. Soon the popping became quicker and louder. Before long, the puffed up kernels were pushing the lid off the pan. We would sit on the old front porch swing, watch the lightning bugs, and eat our popcorn.
