I had asked for a "real" popcorn maker for Christmas. I'll be honest, I'm pretty much addicted to popcorn. I have it as a snack probably five evenings a week. It's definitely my biggest vice, but I figure as far as vices go, it could be much worse (nice justification, right)! And I didn't just want an air popper...I already have one of those. I wanted something that really made the popcorn taste good. I know that I don't need all the calories of movie theater popcorn, but I wanted something that tasted better than air popping. However, after spending a couple of hundred dollars to do the final repairs on our chimney (the never ending project)* I decided that a popcorn machine was too much to ask for Christmas, and I rescinded my request. My wonderful husband found a good deal on a table/counter top model, and I LOVE IT! The popcorn tastes AWESOME! I even like it better than the microwave popcorn, and as a bonus it's cheaper and healthier. Love it! The kids have even commented on how they love the smell in the house after I pop the popcorn. Kudos to my hubby!!!!
*Upon re-reading before posting it has occurred to me that technically this isn't the final repair. When the chimney was put upright this summer back against the house, some settling occurred that caused cracks in the plaster walls in our living room that need to be repaired. Like I said, it's the never ending project! My dad advised us to wait until we were sure everything was done settling to have it fixed so that we only had to do it once. So, THAT will be the final repair of the never ending project!
