The Global Kitchen

A funny parody of Star Wars designed to alert people aboutsome of the problems of our food supply.

I love the names!

Serious Eats published a List of Obsolete Cooking Skills last week. One of the skills was popping corn in oil. I thought about that and realized I don't like microwave popcorn with it's faux butter or air popped corn. I remember eating oil popped corn as a child. I think that ended in the 80's when air poppers and microwaves became more common.

I had an Amazon gift certificate so I decided to buy a Whirly Pop.



And I included some Rancho Gordo Crimson Popcorn in my next bean order. I hear great things about this popcorn-like it's buttery without the butter.



So here's to bringing back an obsolete skill! I'm not worried about the fat as I'll use coconut oil which isn't absorbed into food as much as other fats. Maybe I'll even make kettle corn!

Now on to my shrimp. I have no clue where I got this idea but it's one of my favorite, "don't know what the heck else to do" meals. I love sriracha and never pass up a chance to use it.

Simply combine sriracha and soy sauce to taste. Marinate shrimp and cook as desired (I sautee). I marinate the shrimp for about as long as it takes to cook the rice. Yum!!!
