Scientists Say Popcorn Is Good For You

As a scientist I can tell you that is a bit of a stretch, but if you enjoy popcorn there's no reason not to eat it in reasonable quantities. I like to pop mine myself and use creative spices and toppings.

Serious Heat: Culinary Russian Roulette with Padron Chiles

I LOVE padrones!!! They smell so darn good and are one of my favorite highlights of the summer (besides heirloom tomatoes, of course).

@smackrabbit They get hotter as the season progresses. By October I can barely eat them alone.

My wealthy uncle once stuck his nose deep into a glass of expensive California Cabernet, slowly exhaled and said in a clam voice, "Mmmm... Tanya from 8th grade."

Toured in a metal band and went to school for music theory.

Moved from Iowa to San Francisco just to cook. Couldn't think of a life outside the kitchen!

I choose to believe that popcorn has amazing health benefits, especially when popped at home in a bit of peanut oil and tossed with flaked fleur de sel, and then devoured in large quantities. I will believe this no matter what science exists to prove otherwise.

so - it's not great for you, but it's not terrible either? i like to indulge in a bowl of it .... with a little olive oil and sea salt.... every now and again.

I make my own popcorn at home too. It is sooo good with a little sprinkle of salt and sugar. Instant kettle corn!

I was just in Spain, near Padron and these peppers are SO good. I love, love, LOVE them, but I am afraid I won't be able to find ones that compare to the Spanish ones.

I was just in Barcelona and ate these as tapas every night I was there. I just ordered a pound from La Tienda. Can't wait until they get here!

My favorite steakhouse serves this same recipe using Shishito peppers, which is very similar to the padrones, but longer. Most of them are mild, but then you get one that just make your eyes water. Very addictive.

I ate these for the first time last year, and they were delicious. I split them with a bunch of other people and said I liked that some of them were spicy. They looked at me like I was nuts, now I know why - I must have just gotten lucky (or unlucky, depending on your view of spice).
