Cheese Popcorn

broderic on November 21, 2012

When I went to Wisconsin late in August, we flew in and out through Chicago’s O’Hare. I bought some cheese popcorn from the Nuts On Clark kiosk. It was not the white cheddar, but the orange cheddar, and it was pretty good cheese popcorn. Smooth cheesy flavor. Big fluffy puffed popped corn. Delicious. I just paid a mint for a gallon.

Now I can’t get enough cheese popcorn. It must be from the delicious Karamel Korn kiosk in Security Square as I was growing up. I love it better than carmel corn. Don’t get me started on kettle corn. But anyway, I love cheese popcorn. The orange the better. The white isn’t so bad, but it’s boring. Give me orange cheddar.

So I need to find more orange cheddar cheese popcorn. Perhaps the holidays and their gift tins of popcorn maybe good or maybe they maybe mediocre. Usually they are nothing to write home about. Perhaps I’ll find some in some nut store around here. There’s one in the Greenspring Station if it’s still open. Perhaps, I’ll send away via internet for some: fischer’s? or some other boardwalk popcorn place.

I just need some cheese.

Eddie

Damn if Eddie Murray ain’t the greatest Oriole to throw on stirrup socks I don’t think you can find anyone else.

Ed-die! Ed-die! Ed-die! Ed-die! Ed-die! Ed-die!

Chicago White Sox [5-3]

Looking through my Lumix at pictures that were still on there and I found these from the August 30th day game versus the Chicago White Sox. Out of all the games I went to last season this one is a favorite. It came during the controversial “low attendance” “start of school” days. As you can tell, there’s barely anyone there, but it was a fun, rollicking crowd. Orioles won, too, to boot! It was just the start of their push to the playoffs, and soon Camden Yards and The Birds were rolling.

Gahh! Where’s baseball?!

Skyfall

Bond, Jason Bond. Or is it, Bond, Bruce Bond?

During the latest Bond adventure, Skyfall, you may think you’re in another installment of Jason Bourne: Die Another Day. Then later on you may think that James Bond is Batman. He’s an orphan with a big, big mansion. And a cave underneath! I’m Batman!

I’m not a big Bond fan. I’ve seen them all, because that’s what you have to watch on occasion. But I don’t try to figure it all out. Except, this latest installment was pretty good. Dark like The Dark Knight.

It is the prettiest looking Bond you’ll see, too. Give credit to Roger Deakins for his cinematography. The scene in the skyscraper in Macau was phenomenal.

And we get the Aston Martin to boot.

4 of 5 stars.

“We’ll face it all together at Skyfall.”

YouTube surely does offer wonderful things. I dig the Adele original, but there are plenty of good covers on YouTube. I’m picking this one because of the cello.

Quote of the Day [11.09.12]

“Too much cannot be said against the men of wealth who sacrifice everything to getting wealth. There is not in the world a more ignoble character than the mere money-getting American, insensible to every duty, regardless of every principle, bent only on amassing a fortune, and putting his fortune only to the basest uses —whether these uses be to speculate in stocks and wreck railroads himself, or to allow his son to lead a life of foolish and expensive idleness and gross debauchery, or to purchase some scoundrel of high social position, foreign or native, for his daughter. Such a man is only the more dangerous if he occasionally does some deed like founding a college or endowing a church, which makes those good people who are also foolish forget his real iniquity. These men are equally careless of the working men, whom they oppress, and of the State, whose existence they imperil. There are not very many of them, but there is a very great number of men who approach more or less closely to the type, and, just in so far as they do so approach, they are curses to the country.”

Theodore Roosevelt
