Years to Your Health!

That's the name of an herbal shop here in Irving. 

We shopped there this morning and I loaded up with remedies.

I need to be totally well - and SOON!

This afternoon I have sipped more than ONE cup of tea made with my purchases!

We were happy to get our early voting done today and miss the crowds and lines on election day!

I've done everything on my to do list for the day!

Herbal shop.

Vote.

Hair cut.

Popcorn Crunch.

My sister in law, Lynda Kay, and I used to make this ALL.THE.TIME.

It is delicious and much like Kettle Corn.

I popped up a BIG Tupperware bowl of popcorn and I popped it the old fashioned way -

in a skillet on top of the stove.

Then I pulled out my very old but faithful copper saucepan and melted 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of sugar, 2 Tablespoons of white syrup, 2 Tablespoons of water. Bring to a boil and cook - stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.

Pour this over your popcorn lifting and mixing it to coat the corn.

Dump out on waxed paper and cool.

I store mine in tins!

This BIG tin is to take back to Houston with me.

A smaller tin to take to Fort Worth on Friday.

THEN I made another big batch and bagged up for some special Trick or Treat visitors tonight!

It's just about that witching hour when I need to find my costume, fluff my hair and add a bit of lipstick.

Louis Dean is already out in the front yard picking up pecans!

We will be lighting some candles and leaving the foyer door open so everyone who comes up can see all the fall decorations. We will drink a special wine LD bought at Trader Joe's last week from our Goblin Goblets!

Trick or TREAT????
