The perfect group snack

We love palomitas.
They are requested approximately 20 times a day. (more or less) but we usually end up actually making them once or maybe twice a week.

I mean really, who doesn't love a bowl of popcorn while you are all snuggled up watching a movie. Especially when you are snuggled up with two or three or five little ones on the couch!

So palomitas (popcorn) are a special treat loved by all in this house. And really you can't beat it. One bag costs less than $1.50 and makes enough popcorn for 20 of us.
So you can add it up:
1 bag of popcorn (maybe 1.5 if we are really hungry)= $1.50
1/2 cup of oil (spilt between the multiple batches)= maybe $0.25
1 stick of butter (margarine)= $0.50
20 minutes of gas for cooking and a couple pinches of salt= hardly worth mentioning

So we have the before:

and the enjoying :)
