Elon Musk’s massive Starship rocket was due to take off on a test flight tomorrow but has been rescheduled for Saturday to replace a vane gizmo. The beast is intended to make one turn about the Earth and then land. I hope it all goes well this time, it will be spectacular to watch, in any case.
Now about POPCORN. To watch spectacles on television, a good bowl of popcorn is a necessity and it has to be butter-flavored, salted popcorn. Nothing else will do.
So I use high quality corn kernels grown specifically for making popcorn, and a very finely powdered, butter-flavored salt. Use a large pot, put in a small handful of the corn, and about 4 tablespoons of fresh cooking oil. I prefer corn oil, it’s the healthiest to use. Don’t use much of that flavored salt, a little goes a long way. Put it on high heat, and shake it when the popping starts. Take it off the heat immediately when the popping stops and IMMEDIATELY pour it out into a bowl, otherwise the hot pot bottom will scorch the popcorn and turn it black.
All set? Great. Now sit back and watch the rocket do it’s thing.
