Stick a Fork in it...

...this column's done.

"Putting the 'Pop' in Popcorn," ran in today's Chapel Hill News. Thanks to Al Gore, you can read it online, in all its glory.

One quick note from the Department of Irony: After two weeks of popcorn pondering and experimenting, I watched a movie tonight. What was my accompanying snack this evening? Ice cream.

Finally, while a niece and a nephew got shout outs in the column, I'd be remiss if I didn't say that their sister Darcy was instrumental in the tasting of many varieties of popcorn.

OK, happy popping!
