1. Popcorn and ginger ale

[electric_blue68]

4. 👍

When I was a kid, besides being a picky eater I hated ginger ale.
Forward about 20 yrs after eating Chinese take out, and more authentic Chinese food, plus cooking authenticity as well - it dawned on me some that maybe I'd like ginger ale now.
And I did/do. 👍

2. Homemade Olive Oil Popcorn. A Ginger Beer

And a shot of bourbon.

[electric_blue68]

5. Nice!

I'll hav to try and make olive oil popcorn as I do love a good olive oil! 👍

Bourbon - one of the few hard liquors I like

[leftieNanner]

7. It's so easy and so good

You need a heavy bottom pot (I have an old Calphalon one) with a lid.

3 Tbls. good olive oil
1/2 cup fresh popcorn kernels
Kosher salt

That's all you need! Put the oil in the pot and heat it up with 3-4 kernels of popcorn and the lid on (I leave a small gap so the steam can escape). When those few kernels begin to pop, add the rest of them, shake the pot gently to distribute them evenly on the bottom and put on the lid (ajar). It should begin to pop very soon and quickly.

Pour it out, add salt, and stir. You can pour on melted butter, but I love the flavor of the oil.

Tip with the popcorn kernels. You should put a piece of plastic wrap around the top of the jar and then screw down the lid. It keeps the popcorn from drying out - which means it won't pop, just burn.

3. Lays potato chips, dip and ginger ale. If it gets really good I will upgrade to a beer!

6. 👍😄

What kind of dip?

My mom used to make this dip with 🤔 waterchestnuts, spinach, sour cream, onions plus ?? Sort of complex, and soooo good!


Of course there's onion dip. 😋

[MLAA]

16. I by tofutti 'sour cream' and mix in a package of Sprouts powdered spinach dip.

I’m not much into cooking 😬

[electric_blue68]

20. 👍 what works, works!

[MLAA]

22. If you are anywhere near a Trader Joe's their carmelized onion dip (vegan and non vegan versions)

Is delicious!

[electric_blue68]

24. Oh! Oooooooo 😄👍 ty 👍

No, but I plan a trip there soonish!

8. Onion rings and Bloody Marys.

My air fryer gets the onion rings nice and crispy and I'll have some horseradish sauce on the side to dip them in. I'm really picky about my Bloody Marys. They have to be just right, so I'm careful when I make them. I only have enough vodka for two or three of them, so that will make me just right for bedtime after the hearing.

[electric_blue68]

11. Onion Rings, ooooo yum! Air fried - interesting.

Never had it probably wouldn't have liked it.
Light social drinker. Loved the little buzz.

Now I can only have a half inch of anything once in a while. Like the taste of white wines, rosés, Bourbon, Kahlua.

Enjoy! 🍹

[MLAA]

17. Dayum, you win.

Yum

[Haggard Celine]

25. If you were around here, I'd invite you over.

But there aren't too many DUers around here. Wish there were!

[rubbersole]

9. Innocence lost...

Crown Royal and ginger ale. California roll and some smoked gouda on Late July sweet potato chips, lightly heated, just enough to melt the cheese 🧀.

[electric_blue68]

12. Ah, your slightly melted Gouda, and sweet potato chips sounds yummy!

[highplainsdem]

10. No snacks on hand. Didn't even think about needing any. I never have any

snacks on hand unless there's going to be a game I want to watch (or I have company).

I do have beer, though...

[MLAA]

18. Beer counts as a snack in my house!

[rsdsharp]

23. Beer counts as a food group in mine!

[electric_blue68]

13. Well.... Beer does often accompany snacks... 👍

[pnwest]

14. Irish Death Porter, black bean nachos.

[electric_blue68]

15. What's that? An ale? Yum on the black bean nachos.

[Backseat Driver]

19. Geesh, haven't had dinner yet, but it's take-in

salad and chili and iced green teaw/lemon and ice cream bar/sandwiches for dessert - snacks much later; maybe actually

[electric_blue68]

21. 👍 😄 Actually I'm still eating a long drawn out (started around 5pm+) late lunch! 😄

Will.put away soon, and grab snacks around 9:30p.

[yellowdogintexas]

26. popcorn definitely

no beer or fizzy anything.

just red wine and water.

[IcyPeas]

27. Yes! white cheddar popcorn.

only 70 calories per cup

[electric_blue68]

28. 😄 Just what I picked up earlier. Traders version is yummy, too

[wnylib]

29. Frozen vanilla yogurt with blueberry topping.

I put a 5 oz. container of vanilla yogurt in the freezer earlier. Then put some fresh blueberries into a pan with a little water and a few pinches of sugar. Heated the blueberries until they softened enough to mash and the juice thickened slightly. Poured the cooled blueberry syrup onto the yogurt.

Not as creamy as store-bought frozen yogurt. More like sherbet texture, but delicious.

Had planned on it as dessert after dinner, but did not eat it until the hearings were on.

30. Ah, interesting!
