Grandma's new popping machine

I can't believe that it's been a whole week since I entered a blog....it's not that my life hasn't had wonderful things in it for the week...somehow I just haven't gotten around to it.....
Tony gave me some money for my Birthday and Mother's Day...ohhh what did I want that the whole family could enjoy.....I saw this you beaut corn popping machine and thought this is it....also great to eat when we are trying to get of sugar.....might add with no luck what so ever......I have made several batches and the getting of sugar thing...well I have a great recipe for Candied Popcorn from a lovely Lady called Lucille Nokelby...and unfortunately we love it !!!!! 2 cups of sugar 1/2 cup of water 1 tblsp of butter... boil until syrup reaches 240 deg or until soft ball stage...meaning if you get a little of the syrup and put it in a little bit of cold water it should turn into a soft ball...... pour over the popped corn..hmmmm thought I would put in the recipe just in case you might love it to...... luckily we have only had that twice.... the children asked for it the second time...encouraged by me !!!!!.
It is so hard to get off sugar never knew it to be so hard...much easier when one is younger....

At last I can actually say it feels like winter in the evenings....this has been the longest hottest summer ever !!!
