Weather & Popcorn

We had some rough weather come through yesterday that dumped some heavy rain in areas of Nashville and surrounding counties...

all WE got at the house was wind...thunder & lightning.

No rain... nada, zilch, zippo, until about 2 o'clock this morning, when thunder shook the house!!!

Scared the dog...woke me up...and made a lot of noise.

With a flash of light and rolling thunder and a mighty "Hi HO SILVER!!!"
It rained maybe... 5 mins.

Not enough to save the front lawn grass...

Guess I'll have a very nice water bill NEXT month...sigh....Hi Ho Silver...yeah, right...





Here's a good and quick recipe for those that like a little twang to their popcorn.

Enjoy!!!
