Popcorn Day
January 19, 2013
Hee Haw Popcorn Night
It was a family tradition on Saturday nights to make popcorn and watch Hee Haw with my parents when I was growing up. We'd pop up popcorn and butter it up yummy; even eat ice cream for something sweet to go with.
Hee Haw was always fun to watch. All the joking around was so silly. I can hear my Dad laugh now as I think of those time. The religious and country music was nice to listen to. My mom loved all the music. They are such fond memories that will always be in my heart.

Poppin Facebook Question
Popcorn Day Facebook Question
I thought it would be neat to ask others on my Facebook page to see how they would celebrate Popcorn Day on January 19th.
Here are the responses:
1. Make Popcorn
2. Have a birthday party
3. Make spiced popcorn
4. Pop a few pumpkin seeds in with the popcorn for health and flavor.
Spiced Popcorn
Take olive oil and put garlic in it and warm it up so the oil becomes enhanced. In a different bowl I mix oregano, basil, onion powder, yellow nutritional flakes, dash of black pepper and hot pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese, and salt. Pop the corn in a hot air popper. Place in a big plastic bag and dump in seasonings; drizzle in olive oil. Shake it all around. Enjoy! (By Daisy, FB Friend)
