The next time you get the munchies why not try
residence halt students' all-around favorite cooking uten
sil, the popcorn popper.
A food most often associated with good times (who
.. ever heard of crying in your corn), popcorn has been with
us for centuries.
Ever since Columbus was greeted by Indians with pop
corn strung around their necks, it's been popping up all
over to tempt us.
It's almost inconceivable to think of going to a movie
without at least smelling freshly-popped kernels. And
how could there be a ball game or carnival without it?
Although it's not hard to guess where it got it's name,
I wonder which old maid came first-the unpopped kernel
or the woman doomed to a life alone.
Pis food
Speaking of popping, it's not really magic that turns a
little pile of kernels into a bowl full of fluffy corn.
' Inside the shell of the kernel there lurks a little bit of
starchy moisture just waiting for some heat to steam it up
and cause an explosion.
It's hard to believe that some Europeans think of corn
(native to the Americas) as pig food, although I have seen
people turn piggish over a bowl of popcorn, especially if
it 's drenched with melted b utter .
For calorie counters, a cup of popped corn has about SO
calories. But for those of us who are long on gluttony and
short on willpower, butter adds only a mere 100 calories a
tablespoon. v
OrviHe Redenbacher, referred to by many as America's
popcorn king, doesn't eat his with butter, but what could
he know? He has only spent most of his !ife devebpiag
what he calls the perfect kernel.
"Not iiae it's worth if
I even tried las famous popcorn, and although I
couldnt tell much difference in the taste, it did pop faster
and left fewer old maids.
It also costs more than twice as much as a store brand,
so I'm not sure it's worth it.
When you are ready to start popping, follow directions
for electric poppers and if you don't have one, use a heavy
pan with a lid.
If you're using the pan, coat the bottom with oil, add
two kernels, cover and turn on the heat (to about 400 de
grees). When the kernels pop, add the coin (about one
third cup for a large pan) and shake until you dont hear
anymore popping.
After adding salt, butter or whatever else you think
might be good, proceed to devour.
If you want to be a little more creative snd consume '
a few more calories, here's a recipe that is worth trying.

NOW these acronyms get
to CORE of the language
By Theodore M. Bernstein
What, More Acronyms? In a mimeographed publication
of which he is the editor, Sherman A. Harmon of Philar
delphia wrote a story that was showered with acronyms to
provide some fun for his readers, who were invited to
figure out what the letters stood for. Here is one brief
paragraph from the story:
It took some time and PEP for him to HEW his way
out of the brush, get in a boat, PUSH off from the
shore and row across the lake to the DOC for first AID
CARE before he was DOA.

Word Oddities. The word rriachismo has not been in
the English language very long, but an even more recent
entrant, derived from the same Spanish root, is macho. As
a noun it means a virile man and as an adjective it means
strongly masculine.
