Ep. 46: Beef Ribs & Popcorn Balls 🥩🍿 ft. MW2

Hey all! 💛 I hope that wherever you might find yourself reading this—you are warm & fed! ❣️

Ya’ll, tonight came out of left field: Popcorn Balls. Yes, that’s right: POPCORN BALLS.

One thing you should know about my dad is his authentic spontaneity. It has been 29 years, and I still can barely get a read on what he might do next.

Well, tonight, we were sitting down playing some video games—and lo-and-behold, he came back 10 minutes later with homemade Popcorn Balls. He spiced up the Popcorn a little bit. He said he put Cayenne Pepper in the popcorn—and knowing my Dad, he wasn’t lying.

On a side note—my Pa and I do enjoy our First Person Shooter Games, he currently has a PS3, and PS4–and our favorite to play is Modern Warfare 2. We used to play it 10 years ago, when I was in High School. It actually has aged pretty well—considering it is 10 years old.

He quickly melted down the marshmallows, and added in Maple extract—giving them a beautiful Maple Syrup taste.

It has been 29 years folks, and it was my first time making popcorn balls—I have made Rice Crispy Treats before, but never popcorn balls.

The next thing I would like to attempt to make is Caramel Apples. There is something so tasty about the juiciness of a green apple, and the rich flavor of caramel.

Aren’t they beautiful???

Complete with Ketchup on top! (forgive the crummy photo(this photo was obviously and afterthought)

These Beef Ribs are something my Dad pulled out of his freezer—and “doctored” them up to his liking. One thing I did in-fact enjoy was the Ketchup he roasted on top.

I don’t know why, but Beef Roast & Ribs just taste better with Ketchup. I remember my Mom serving us delicious beef roast, and me having a heaping-helping of ketchup on the side.

My dad and I both agreed that they didn’t have a lot of meat on them—we will be shopping for more meat, and less bone next time. I will say that what meat there was, was delicious. There were even a couple delicious bites of fat. Fat is my favorite!

My Kill, Death Ratio is horrendous. I just played a match and got 0:17. SHUT UP I KNOW. My head really isn’t in the game, obvi.

Well, anyway, I don’t think I have anything else to say! I am off on my next adventure!

Daniel out! 🦋
