Childhood memories!! My parents use to make popcorn this way also with one exception they did not put on the extra butter or bacon bits. My husbands parents also used the bacon grease. It really adds a lot of flavor to the popcorn. William, I can just imagine how much more tasty the butter and bacon bits add.

I make everything from scratch when I can. The more raw, the better. I make my own bread and pasta, without a machine. My friends think I'm nuts! They may be right.
