Pop(corn) Quiz: Do You Know Your Facts?
January, for me, means two things: healthy resolutions and American film and TV awards. That's why I've got to take a minute to acknowledge the one thing that brings my top two January interests together: popcorn! It's an addictive snack that's mandatory when watching Oscar-nominated films, and it can be healthy and light as well.
Taste Test: Bacon Ranch and Bacon Pop
When I tried Baconnaise for the first time last year, I declared it the best thing since sliced bread. Its savory roundness led me to ponder: if Baconnaise is this good, why buy regular mayonnaise ever again?
I knew, from the way bacon turned up in just about everything, that this was only the beginning for J&D's, the mastermind behind Baconnaise.
Taste Test: Cape Cod Popcorn

Come Party With Me: Election Night — Menu
Since the election night party starts around dinnertime, I plan on providing guests with some substantial snacking. However, the party is at Elixir, a bar with no kitchen, so all of the food has to be made in advance, and it must taste delicious served at room temperature.
To keep up with the patriotic theme, LibertySugar and I have come up with clever names for each of the dishes.
It's Popcorn Time!
October is National Popcorn Month, and there are so many reasons to celebrate. Every October, the kernel harvest signals another year of the air-popped pleasure. Popcorn is indeed one of America's all-time favorite snacks, with over 16 billion quarts consumed each year.
Do You Smuggle Food Into Movie Theaters?
When I made microwave popcorn the other day, it sparked a conversation in the office about sneaking food into movie theaters.
Considering the majority of you like to eat popcorn at the movies, I'm wondering how many of you sneak in your popcorn? While I've never done the deed, I have plenty of friends who do, because store-bought popcorn is a fraction of the cost of movie-theater popcorn.
