Microwave Popcorn!

I like watching Good Eats on TV though I get annoyed by the silly skits and wish he would spend that time sharing more of his wisdom instead. But now I love Alton Brown for writing about making popcorn in the microwave. I love microwave popcorn but then I read an article in the New Yorker several years ago that basically said everything I ate was bad for me since I was a big believer in the convenience of pre-packaged foods. But it turned out that almost everything had partially hydrogenated fats including my beloved microwave popcorn. So for a while I gave them up and just occasionally indulged guiltily. Then Alton Brown came to the rescue with a solution that was healthy and dirt cheap.

Banana Split

No cooking here...just drooling and licking the bowl clean.





3 scoops of French Vanilla ice cream flanked by 1 banana split lengthwise and capped with strawberry topping, chocolate sauce, and chopped walnuts.
