I too have been on the hunt for popcorn salt. I am hooked now that I've had it. I bought it at my local grocery store who no longer carries it & like many of you, I too refuse to pay the shipping fees that Morton salt co. charges! I found a place that sells a bigger jar with only $4.99 shipping. It's called The great american spice company. The salt is "Amish Country Fine White

My father's from eastern Baltimore and his father remembers combing the streets with eggs yelling "who's got an egg?!?!" Back then they played for keeps. It's still a family tradition at our easter. I blogged about it kinda today.

My sister and I were discussing this yesterday on a Sunday drive. My father learned this growing up in East Baltimore in the 20's. He would buy 'pullet' eggs from PA and give them to my brother. He would clean up in the alley. We still do this every Easter.

We thought it was either a German or Polish tradition. We are German. I am glad to see a post here that

OH MY GOSH.....this was a tradition in our family for years and years!!

My Dad and Mom were raised in Baltimore and he carried this tradition down through our family.

My sister and I are planning on going to Baltimore next week to attend the 75th birthday party of our Cousin. We wanted to say this to her when we first see her.

We too thought maybe my Dad, who

Very cool! I am beginning to use my slow cooker more often now that I have increased my work hours. Most recipes seem to be the same type, so a new book might be just what I need.

How EXCITING! I can't wait to get it! I use my slow cooker at least 2-3 days a week.

2010-01-27T16:04:58.340-05:00

That's something we need, too. I love our tortilla press but once I've sat down to eat, I don't feel like getting up again to make more.

Oh man, I need one of these! Thanks for the tip.

Thanks Adam
I use hot air popped corn and butter so popcorn salt is needed.. I understand what popcorn salt is and even how to make it but as someone who makes her own bread, rolls, condiments, sauces etc I have no desire to make
my own salt. I need to draw the line some where.

To try and answer some loose ends in the previous comments, popcorn salt is pretty much finely ground kosher salt. The fine texture helps it to better adhere to the popcorn, and to cover more surface area with the same amount of salt.

Why kosher salt? Well, table salt isn't just salt (i.e., sodium chloride). It's salt, plus iodine, plus calcium silicate (an anti-caking

I was wondering about this game. I don't have the console but I wondered what it would be like to 'play' cook instead of actually cook. Interesting.

Just to add, my grandfather grew up on Kentucky Ave in Baltimore, and also picked eggs on Easter morning. My family still carries on the tradition! Did any one else's grandparent's test an egg on their tooth to see if it was broken?

I hated the soyjoy bars at first because the strawberry one is so awful, but the others are ok and I'm completely addicted to the mango ones. I always keep one on hand just in case and they really do take the beating purses offer. The only other bar i like is the salty sweet mojo bars, cliff bar makes them...but i dislike regular cliff bars...ugh

These are awesome! Thanks for the link.

We puchased about 11 cases and 6 2-litres in Dallas Texas last November. We just opened the last case. I REALLY hope they bring it back this year!
