The DH came into our marriage a fan of Helen and Scott Nearing and their philosophies of The Good Life. I've become a fan, too. I mean, what's not to love about Helen, who did almost all of the stonemason work on their slipstone cottage herself?
The Nearings were known to enjoy a simple meal of popcorn and fruit. We also enjoyed this delicious meal Saturday night. We didn't feel like cooking, and neither did we feel like going out.
I highly recommend air-popped popcorn. Eaten naked, it's sweet and satisfying. It's fun and tasty to doctor up, too. One of our favorite combos is to spray on a little olive oil and add nutritional yeast and chili powder. Sprinkle on ground up lapsang souchong, and you have a treat that's steller! (Thanks to Jasmine Pearl for that idea.) Oh, yumm! We also like the popcorn with olive oil, lemon pepper (and if you desire, a bit of grated parmasean).
Are there any other air-popped popcorn fans out there?

I am, especially when I'm trying to be weight and health conscious. A nurse once told me popcorn was like a broom for the digestive system - sweeping away anything left behind.
I have been known to have popcorn for dinner, but not with fruit and popped on the stove. Must try with fruit. Love, love popcorn.
Oh yes --- I grew up on air-popped corn! So good! I've never thought of adding chili powder, but popcorn sprinkled with nutritional yeast is a regular habit here...usually paired with apples.
When I was a child, the neighbor would make the kids on our block wonderfully delicious popcorn. They would coat fresh popped corn with a warmed coating of molasses and some peanuts. It's very good!
Popcorn is also pretty tasty eaten as a cereal - served with soy milk. And great served under chili beans and topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and olives.
And now --- I am off to make some popcorn. I've been craving it all evening --- and your post has convinced me 100%.
Wow- Great ideas, La Tea Dah!
Wow - that sounds so fun and easy!
