Popcorn II
I tried Alton Brown's popcorn recipe, which is basically taking popcorn
kernels and putting them in a paper bag closed with two staples, and then microwaving until about 5 seconds separate pops. It worked perfectly fine, and then I added popcorn salt and butter to the popcorn. Way better than store-bought, partially hydrogenated coated popcorn. The only problem is that AB's recipe starts with 1/3 cup of kernels. This is a large bowl of popcorn and way high on the carb content. I don't see why you can't halve the recipe. -- Bob M remove ".x" to reply |

However, I used to microwave in a brown bag -- and I never found it necessary to use staples. I would just use a fairly small amount of popcorn and twist the top of the bag tightly. MaryL |

Why bother when there are so many other things to eat? Low carb does not equal no carb. How many grams of carbs do you eat a day? Yesterday, I biked 69 miles over hilly terrain. According to my HR monitor, it took me 5 hours and 17 minutes at an AVERAGE heart rate of 147 bpm (80% of my max HR of about 183, and there are about 5-10 minutes of zeros averaged in there when I was traipsing through the woods to pee), and I burnt 4,900 calories. There's about 4,000 feet of climbing. Tomorrow, I'll lift weights, doing about 1.25 hours of a hard, whole-body workout with very little rest between sets. Tuesday, I'll bike 20 miles. Thursday, I'll bike 18 miles. Friday, I'll do another weightlifting session. Saturday, I plan to bike 73-75 miles over the same terrain (although the road climbs some more). I don't think a few extra grams of carbs are going to hurt me. Also, I think pork rinds are nasty. The only way I like them is if they're heavily flavored, and then they're impossible to find around here -- only certain stores carry them. -- Bob M remove ".x" to reply |

If someone did see that other POPCORN thread that where you got to talking about the AB method for making popcorn, it is quite easy to see why, a LC ng, one might comment about a discussion of the use of a corn product (corn on the cob, HFCS, cornbread, etc.). Knowing you as I do, it made perfect sense to me, but for someone who knows nothing about you, I'm sure you can imagine how it might sound a little off. Popcorn is not on the recommended LC food list. Well, that is true. I don't plan on eating popcorn very often, and honestly I haven't eaten it in so long I can't remember when I ate it the last time. However, I don't think that an occasional foray into some popcorn is going to make anyone fat -- at least, that's not how I got fat. The 400-500 grams of pasta and brown rice I used to eat every day and extremely low fat level I used to eat is what made me fat, along with living with someone for years who loves ice cream and beer. -- Bob M remove ".x" to reply |
