National Popcorn Day

by Cindi Sutter, Founder & Editor Spirited Table®

Date When Celebrated : Second Thursday in March

Many of us love popcorn. So, it only makes sense that there should be a special day just for popcorn lovers.

Popcorn is good for you, when eaten plain. It is not as healthy, when it's loaded with salt and butter. But, all that butter and salt tastes so good.

This day is intended to enjoy popcorn and share it with others. Bring some to work. Or microwave some and put in in a basket on your desk.

You can have popcorn in the traditional way, with salt and butter. Or, you can add anyone of a number of flavors to it. Some popular flavors are cheddar cheese, parmesan garlic, and even hot pepper! There is no requirement as what seasoning to use today, as long as your eat plenty popcorn. Now, that's not hard to do, is it!? 

Popcorn Lover's Day is the perfect day to make a big bowl of popcorn and cozy up to your cutie on the sofa, as you watch television this evening. 

Learn how to grow and dry popcorn.
Today's Quote: " Every once in a while someone would mail me a single kernel that didn't pop. I'd get out a fresh popcorn kernel, tape it to a piece of paper and mail it back to them." - - Orville Redenbacher
