A Simple Yum Yum and a Couple of Tips

I was scrolling through my facebook friends one day last week and happened upon a comment by a good friend.  She had just made caramel popcorn for her children from a recipe that her mom had given her.  The nice thing about this popcorn was that it was made in the microwave.  Well, it so happened that I had been having a craving for some caramel popcorn, but wanted a simple recipe.  When I saw her comment I asked if she was going to share the recipe and she did!  Yippee!  I was happy to get a fast, simple recipe.  In fact, I made myself some.  Since there was only one of me to eat the popcorn I did not want to make a total recipe so I “guesstimated” and scaled it down to  a one portion size.  And yum yum, it was very good.  Here is all you do………….

Microwave Caramel Corn - makes 3 - 4 qts.

  • 2 T Light corn syrup,

  • 1 stick margarine,

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar in microwave on high for 3 minutes.

  • Add 1/4 tsp. baking soda...cook additional 30 sec. until all is melted.

  • Stir, and pour over plain popcorn in a brown grocery bag. Shake, shake, shake. Poor onto waxed paper and cool. You can add nuts if desired. Caramel Popcorn in the microwave 10-20-2011 1-29-31 AM

Now let me tell you a couple of tips in case you don’t know. 

  1. For a one portion size of popcorn, you can put 1/4 cup popcorn into a brown lunch bag,  fold down the top, put it in the microwave,  set your microwave on the popcorn setting and in a minute or two you have just the right amount for yourself.  You can add your own seasonings and butter if you like, pour over the popcorn,  shake it up and enjoy!
  2. Today I decided to try my lettuce crisper to pop my popcorn.  Of course if it had not worked, I would never have posted this.  HA   Laughing out loud   But it did!   I added 1/4 c popcorn,  pushed on the lid,  put it in the microwave,  set it on popcorn setting and had my popcorn in a bowl.   I added the caramel syrup that I made,  put the lid back on,  shook it up and it was very good and just the right amount for myself. 

You may notice that the recipe calls for corn syrup and margarine.  I used honey and butter and it worked fine.  So next time you need a treat for your family or your grandkids,  try this – it is fast, easy, and yummy.

Some Things do not have an End

I love my family.  There are the only thing on earth you can take with you to eternity.  How important to share the gospel with all of them!  It is exciting to see my grand children, one by one come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.  I look forward to the day when each one of them has been saved through the blood of Jesus Christ and I look forward to that great reunion in heaven.  You can be 100% sure!

9 Characteristics of a Christian’s Music

I love to listen and sit under the influence of Dr. Don Scovill, music chairman of Ambassador Baptist College and music director at our church, Maranatha Baptist Church of Shelby, NC. He has been teaching in Sunday School on music.  Last Sunday he gave us 9 characteristics of a Christian’s Music.  Truly, the music of a Christian ought to be different from that of the world. My music must show my changed life or regenerated experience.  If there is no change, then we have a defective salvation or perhaps, no salvation.  2Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. My music should show ownership. We are not our own.  We belong to Christ.  Be careful what you put into your body, mind, and soul.  Does it reflect the ownership of Christ? 1 Corinthians 6:19-20  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which y...
