My elderly cousin, the age that my grandma would have been, used to make popcorn balls every Christmas. She used leftover popcorn from the business she had during the summer. They were great.
I need to say this but I have watched this four times this year and really love to hear about your mom and growing up and how she taught you that there is nothing that is insurmountable. She sounds awesome. What a blessing.
I always thought that pouring the melted caramel over the popcorn would deflate and essentially flatten the light and airy popcorn! Thank you for changing my mind!
I love the idea of thrifting the glass pans or cookie jars for gifts!! I usually bake Christmas treats and use cellophane or cute tins but I’m going to steal your idea! Thanks for sharing!!!
I and my siblings had the same type of upbringing. It makes you strong, and teaches you to be a DIYer. I’ve only recently discovered your videos but I have a great respect and admiration for the type of person you are. God Bless you. We were very poor but my mom would always give us dessert after dinner. If she could not afford to buy the 3 row pack of Oreo cookies, which back then were 15 cents a pack, she would make each of us including one for herself, these incredibly crazy shaped raisin cookies using flour, butter, an egg, sugar salt, baking powder and raisins. I learned to create cookies of my own as I grew. I even created my family favorite rice a roni, spam and cheese casserole. I read something once that I hold close to my heart. Don’t despise the small beginnings A lot of people don’t turn out so great being raised in poverty or a what may be difficult circumstances and some of turn out better than ok. I am not rich by any means but I have learned to make things work, use what I have and share what I can. You seem to be that type of person.
Stop, stop, STOP!! Do I dare to watch this video?? That display at the very beginning is downright DANGEROUS for me to watch since I feel I'm going to have a new addiction! Popcorn is my fav and this popcorn looks mmmmmmmmmmm....Okay, I'll watch.
My mom taught me NOTHING……she was jealous of me….I was the cute little blonde haired girl…..I can honestly say she never even taught me to boil water. Sad but true. I LOVE your channel! I just found you this past week….early September 2024…..rant away darlin! I’m now 75, into herbs….have a garden on my deck…..lovin’ it all! I had no idea how to plant anything….or grow it….or cook it…..or preserve it…but now I’m into herbs, growing them and veggies and having a ball! Doing my thang! I adore your sense of humor…..SO like mine…..and all the things you do! You probably won’t see this since it came out 8 months ago, but I truly love you and watch every video I find of yours! Never give up…..never surrender!!! ❤❤❤
You sound like you have a great mom. You seem like a really great person too. My mom also taught me to cook and clean and sew, but I could never put a roof on my home, or do any installing of appliances. Lol
I enjoy your videos and your recipes. Looking forward to whatever you decide to make. I’d love to see more sourdough recipes and meal ideas on a budget etc. Have a great day!
I have a new sourdough already in the works and for the full month of January we will be doing a pantry challenge using what we have already so that should fit the budget friendly ideas for you. I’m so glad you are here!
Raised by an awesome single Mom too! I am who I am due to her amazing leadership! I can fix things, change my own oil, budget, clean, garden and can because of my amazing mother.. love my Mom!
Looks yummy…I’m going to add peanuts too! I always buy butter on sale at Aldi during the holidays! My husband & I both go. We each buy the 6 limit with usually 3 packs of unsalted. It lasts us pretty much all year including cookie baking season.
I put my popped corn in a brown grocery bag. I cook brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt in a glass bowl, cook in microwave 2 minutes, stir, 2 minutes more. Stir in baking soda and pour over pop corn in the bag. Shake well. Put the bag in the microwave, cook 90 seconds, shake, cook 90 seconds more, shake, cook 45 seconds mire, shake, and pour out on baking sheet to cool.😊
I have a funny story the first time I was making candy, it involved making carmel and I was using a plastic spoon to stir I started smelling burnt plastic and realized it was my spoon it was like those cartoons when the witches pull out the spoon and half of it is missing 😂
I live in Glasgow, Scotland. I grew up in the Gorbls area, which was an extremely deprived area in the 50's (look it up on google). My father left when I was 14, I had 1 older sister and 3 younger, 1 girl and 2 boys. I learned how to cook, sew, embroider etc. The tenements of Glasgow were 3 storeys high, so roofing etc was something I didn't know how to do but I can make something out of nothing, so I know where you're coming from on this one. Loving your videos, am binge watching lol. Thank you so much for sharing xx

They did one a few months ago and I hit all the local ones. Sadly we always used it all’s
Teach me how to make crunchy dill pickles
I’m hoping my cucumber plants give me enough this year to film this for you.
This is one of my favorites thanks

When popping the corn put the oil in and six kernels into the pot when half pop it’s at perfect temp to add popcorn

@@LittleHillHomesteadGa thank you. I've just finished watching you're Winter Wassail video and never heard of it so may need to try thank you 🙂
Just found this recipe. Newer subscriber. Can you air pop the popcorn?
Yes you can!
I make mine that way too. For some reason, microwave always burns on me.
Use air popper and you don’t need the stove at all.
