Don't you just hate it
when you have something in mind that you're going to do and you're
all set to do it and then you find there is a major obstruction to
completing the task you had in mind? That happens to me more than I'd
like to think about and once a gain happened to me this evening.
Friday night, the kind not to want to stay in, turn the heat up pull
the drapes are the shutters and find something on Netflix or just
curl up with a good book. The snows been falling all afternoon with
this March storm. It's an inconvenient storm not too cold, not really
slippery or dangerous for me anyway. I'm finding it's kind of great
subscribing to Netflix. I no longer have to worry about crossing the
street and see what's going on with Red Box. I'm sure to get an
almost new movie but still there's so much stuff on Netflix I'm well
entertained. So perhaps even better than not having to get Red Box is
having to return the video within the 24 hour period. Right now I am
in the middle of watching the remake of the series Lost In Space.
The new series is entertaining
enough I think they took a lot of liberties in how they've portrayed
the characters but like I said series is entertaining.
You
might remember a few months ago I did a posting on ordering a new
popcorn popper from Great Northern. I've used it once just to say
that I've used it right after I got it. I'm ashamed to confess, I
popped the corn and then just but the popper away without taking care
to clean the popper. So, this evening I've decided I'm going to binge
a little bit and watch the last three episodes of Lost In
Space making a batch
of popcorn to enjoy with the experience. I pulled the popper down
from the covered and was shocked to find not only was there popcorn
in the bottom of the popper but it seems stuck with some kind of
super adhesive residue. I don't even want to think what the material
is after all the only thing that was in the popper last was popcorn
and oil. But there is a sticky or film like substance all over the
bottom of the popcorn with remnants of popcorn and there was more
filmy substance on the side seven on the top totally strange. I
thought oh well and put everything in the sink ran hot water and
soap.that would easily take care of the problem but I was quite
surprised that cutting through, which had to be grease, was a major
task. It must've taken me 15 minutes of hard scrubbing with hot water
and dish detergent to remove, I hope all the material from the
popper. I'm hoping now with adding new oil and popcorn that
everything will be right. Who knows? I still don't really know how
much oil to use with the popcorn. I did consult the Internet and went
to the website where I got the popcorn popper and have some direction
but I am a bit skeptical. I'm going to give it a shot and see what I
come up with. It is almost 7 PM On a snowy Friday night and I'm good
and do some serious television with a side of popcorn…
