National Popcorn Day is celebrated annually on 19 January. It's one day later, but I am wearing my popcorn tie, and there shall be popcorn popped and eaten!

For National Popcorn Day (19 January) I wore my popcorn tie! My Friday-morning-donuts friends from EKU enjoyed seeing it via Zoom. And later Beth and I shared some popcorn while watching another episode of Extraordinary Attorney Woo.

Our foster grandson turns 4 years old today! I showed him a set of ten ties from my closet, and his eyes lit up as he saw this one and shouted POPCORN! I'm picking him up from preschool this afternoon and I think you can guess what I will have in the car as a surprise snack! I suppose I need a fourth exclamation point in this text!

With no special occasion for today, I'm taking the chance to celebrate "National Popcorn Poppin' Month," sponsored by The Popcorn Council. It happens every October, of course.

 Today marks the birthday of Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). But I'm celebrating National Popcorn Day! Maybe I'll have some popcorn and read a poem or story by Poe.

Today is one of the first "date math" days this year -- 19 plus 1 (January) = 20 (for 2020). But bursting out of the calendar is the fact that today is National Popcorn Day! Here's a link to a video that will tell you all about this day and some trivia about popcorn. Some of us remember Jiffy Pop® stovetop popcorn, and I'm happy to report that you can still buy the "original version" popping pan (with the expanding balloon of aluminum foil) with 2-day delivery from Walmart ($1.62).

It's National Popcorn Day!

19-21 January 18

National Popcorn Day is celebrated on 19 January. Since that was a Friday I didn't get to wear this new tie until Sunday! When I was young, we often made "Jiffy Pop" popcorn on the stovetop, swirling the aluminum pan over the burner until the big foil bag was full . . .
