Popcorn. Yes or No?

I had no idea that popcorn has been around as long as the following entry says–

“Archaeologists discovered that people have known about popcorn for thousands of years. In Mexico, for example, remnants of popcorn have been found that date circa 3600 BC. Fossil evidence from Peru suggests that corn was popped as early as 4700 BC.” Wikipedia

Kernels popped on stovetop, in a mixture of coconut and olive oil. Lightly salted but unbuttered

Coastline/ Road Edge

The road edge reminded me of a coastline, aerial view. If it weren’t for that leaf in the foreground?

Winter Supper

Steve brought home a container of vegetable soup from Maria Merante’s which a block from his work. To turn it into a main course, I added a can of white cannellini beans, drained.

Added salt to boiling water and cooked a cup of penne pasta.

I placed the cooked pasta in the bowl first, poured the hot soup over and then added some Parmesan cheese.

It was fragrant and hearty on a chilly winter evening. Merante’s : celebrating all things Italian since 1983
