Caramel Popcorn

Nothing much to say about this. Caramel popcorn is my favorite type of popcorn to eat and to make. It's one of my several comfort foods. I made them quite often lately. It's nice to have them on the coffee table near the TV. I know, it's bad-bad-bad!!! But I still do it anyway.

TGIF!!

Gott sei Dank, es ist Freitag! What a joyful day today has been. First, I woke to the good news that Miss P got the refund from the person that sublet her apartment from and later on putting in a man in the apartment simply by saying "Sorry I forgot this - for the time frame you are staying, there will be another girl who you will share the bath room with, and one guy". What?!? a GUY? So casually inserted into the sentence??? Sharing an apartment with a guy that she never met before? That's juts not nice to set it up that way! After a couple of nights with poor sleep, it was settled and the money was refunded and my daughter would not have to share an apartment with a male stranger this Summer. She, however, will have to find a new place to stay.

For the past two days, I had become a company to my sister's colleague and his daughter who had medical problem and was told that she needed an operation by a doctor in Jakarta. We went to a private practice yesterday and this poor father was robbed of his $460 for the doctor, ultrasound imaging and blood test, $300 of which was for consultancy. It's so outrageous! It was too much! Today, they looked for a third opinion from a specialist at Singapore General Hospital. The bad news was that despite the appointment that they had for 10:10AM, we were made to wait for more than two and a half hours. The good news was, after his examination, that the doctor found no reason for the parents and this little girl to worry about. No operation was needed. They were asked to observe and come back later for another Ultrasound imaging. The damage? Merely $100. The satisfaction? Enormous. I am so happy for them.

That's not all. IPad 2 is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have ordered mine, along with the case too. Yes, yes, yes! Now, let me continue with the caramel popcorn. I am getting ready to become a temporary couch potato. It's William and Kate's wedding. Time to enjoy!

Popping The Corns

It would be nice to have some Friday nights as movie night, with all of us watch a movie together, eating popcorn and drinking..... ice water......., our favorite drink in the world. The truth is that it has not been done for ages here. Everyone seemed to have something different to do. I, for one, must admit that I have trouble sitting down for two long hours straight at home. I keep on leaving my seat, constantly get tempted to do something that in the end I never really get the whole movie. It's almost like having ADD. I, however, can do well in the cinema, although I do get bored if the movie is dreadful or too long.

Living room does get busier on Friday nights though, there will be two or three people trying to watch something on TV, whether it is a recording or some telecast program.



I prepared caramel popcorn this afternoon for my little one who has asked for it some weeks ago. Everyone got to eat them as well, of course. We kept on having some cookies or cakes that making caramel popcorn seemed unwarranted, until today. She was coming back from her outing and we were a tiny bit low on sweet goodies around the house. A big bowl was made from merely a cup of uncooked popcorn and we still had some left.
