While I hate the word diet… I realize I have an “issue” Maybe writing it here will keep me honest. I want to lose weight. I won’t say how much and I won’t say how much I weigh now.. let’s just say… black men seem content and my “friend” says I’m gonna lose weight get sexy and leave him…. My retort is always your gonna get rich, get famous and leave me… he says.. he’s already rich… go figure..
Anyway… I’ve been checking out this site that is free and doesn’t seem to be all about gimmicks Diet Bites. They have all kinds of diet tips and articles and even diet plans to follow.. so Today being Monday the great day to start things.. I’m thinking of starting.. so while I’m reading the motivation article I come across a paragraph that says you should pop some popcorn in a paperbag as a viable yet healthy snack… and the innergeek in me marched right over to my good friend Google… and what did I find!!!! A plethora… (I love that word.. darn writer!) of information.. mind you I had to finagle my search terms.. but like I said.. I’m a geek.. I love researching stuff.. I found it.. plus a forum and a website and Alton browns transcript and his recipe off of the food network.. I think I have found popcorn nirvana lol..
So here goes.. the transcript and the forum and the recipe
Popcorn's freaky architecture makes it perfect fodder for the microwave. Quarter of a cup of quality popcorn into a brown paper bag, put a little oil, a pinch of kosher salt, shake on some hot stuff if you like, and, uh, seal up the bag with 2 staples to keep the steam in. Into the microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes or until there's 5 seconds between the pops.
1/4 cup popcorn
2 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp popcorn
saltpepper "shake"
2 staples
2-3 minutes on high
I gotta try this… popcorn feign that i be.. just gotta sub the salt for Lawry’s :)
Well see how this diet thing goes.. I got some plans to display my glory in a wifebeater.. I hear this is trouble.. what plans.. :) lol
Peace
