Smoked Salt and Dill Popcorn-and a bloggy tip

Happy Weekend Everyone-Woo Hoo-it's been a long week! How about a grown-up popcorn for movie night. Butter and salt are wonderful but I also like to mix things up, some favorites are Emeril's Essence, Old Bay, Lawry's Cracked Black Pepper Seasoned Salt and Parm with black pepper.
I do love me some dill, so as soon as I saw this combo I had to try it...
Smoked Salt and Dill Popcorn  

It's this easy folks... 

Couple things:
  • The popcorn jar is foggy because I store my popcorn in the fridge. Read once that it's moisture that makes it pop and the fridge was the best place to keep it.
  • This popcorn has a great aroma!
  • I used a mortar and pestal to crush the sea salt, didn't want big flakes in my popcorn. You can easily crush it with the back of a spoon in a bowl. 
  • No recipe, add as much salt and dill as you'd like.
  • Things don't stick to hot air popcorn so you have a couple options... You could add butter (go ahead, I won't tell!), or spritz it lightly with olive oil. Or do what I do, just stick a wet finger to the bottom of the bowl and pick up some salt and dill! My only suggestion would be separate bowls unless you're sharing with a really close buddy:@)
I know this new Blogger format may take some getting used to so I'd like to share a tip... The first thing I do with all posts is immediately go to "schedule" and schedule it for 1-2 months from now. This way, if my fingers get too fast and I hit publish before I'm ready, it doesn't go live, just "scheduled" to post in the future. When you're ready to publish, simply click on "automatic" and you're all set.
Have a happy day!
