Camping popcorn incident

After our afternoon of kite flying, we decided to have a snack of popcorn. Of course, we didn't bring any popcorn that you can cook over the fire, but I did have a disposable pie plate and some tinfoil so I attempted to make my own "jiffy-pop." Unfortunately, the "lid" came off and the oil caught on fire and the whole thing collapsed into the fire pit, all the while shooting little pieces of burning popcorn at us. So, after stepping back from the pit to avoid the fiery assault, we decided to make it on the propane stove in a pot. and it tasted great! Here is a picture of myself looking quite pleased about my home-made "jiffy-pop" container, during the incident just after it caught on fire, and then at the end enjoying the popcorn that we made on the stove. Note how frizzy my hair had become during the incident. ha ha!
