we had a little summer get-together this past weekend, also known as the first annual squawk & pop summer social. we mixed up some fruit & herb simple syrups for club soda pops to drink (recipe in this month’s issue of print:: a year in film!) & made some yummy toppings for popcorn. the honey butter was amazing sprinkled with a bit of sea salt.
we decorated the table with antique chickens & roosters.
& took the setting outdoors. everyone showed up around dark & we squawked the evening away in good conversation. it was a big success!
i learned a little something from a friend, too. popcorn in a brown bag. put 1/3 cup of popcorn in a brown lunch bag. add a bit of oil (safflower or olive oil work well) & pop in the microwave. the popcorn setting didn’t pop all of the kernels so we popped ours for about 2.5 minutes on the regular setting. our homemade popcorn in the microwave worked perfectly for making a large quantity quickly.
it was a good time. we just love this little community.
love,
natalie
