In Chicago they mix their cheesey popcorn with their sweet popcorn and brag about it a lot HOWEVER if you want to make it classy get the caramel corn but serve it with little slices of real sharp cheddar cheese.
Forget the cheese powder.
You are welcome.

I was thinking about the hippy, flower child, free love, anti establishment days this morning. How some of those people ended up right leaning as old people I can't understand.
In my opinion we all need to find our groovy again and shame on the people who would deny us peace just because they can.
I am working hard to get my body in a better place so I walked again this morning. I walked up the hill at the #HumboldtBotanicalGardens twice. Forty minutes of keeping my heart rate up. I am motivated. Lots of things rely on me staying healthy.
I took a couple of groovy photos.
Peace.

"Meanwhile, Zuhrah’s friends repeatedly called the prison requesting an ambulance, who they said “kept hanging up” on them. They tried ringing for ambulances directly, but were informed that this would have to be arranged through the prison.
“We were being told by ambulance operators that they have no power over whether an ambulance goes to a prison or not, because it is up to the prison whether they will accept an ambulance," Moulsdale said.
“If someone collapses in a prison, they don't get an ambulance sent to them. The prison gets to decide.”

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •Honestly? sounds a lot better than orange colored desiccated yeast they use in a lot of those "cheese" popcorn things. I should try that with some Dubliner cheddar and see how it goes.
(Grated Parmesan or Romano cheese also works nicely on popcorn, so maybe that might work too.)

in reply to j-r conlin • • •@jrconlin
I think the trick is to stop trying to get the cheese to stick to the popcorn and just eat one of each at the same time.

How would you call 'Stockholm Syndrome' but it is from Chicago and it is about popcorn?

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •Oh interesting. Kiddo got popcorn at an event over the weekend. Thought the cheese/carmel mix was unusual, didn't realize it was a Chicago "thing." Didn't catch the label though.
It's made it to San Francisco theaters.
