Kitchen Tool of the Week - Whirley Pop

Tonight Dylie and I had a sleepover party. We used to do this every Friday, but then Max was born, and with our co-sleeping, multiple night wakings and general exhaustion, we had to put the tradition on hold (poor Dylie!). We started up again a few weeks ago.

Sleepover parties at our house consist of a movie and freshly popped porcorn. Tonight's feature was Bambi 2 - cute. We made popcorn in our Whirley Pop - I love this thing. It's old-fashioned, it works perfectly every time, and it's fun.

We used a blue kernel popcorn that came as part of a gourmet pack and topped it with freshly melted butter and a generous sprinkling of kosher salt. It was delicious. And my big girl is currently sleeping curled up against me - that's delicious too (even more than the popcorn).
