Dear Reader,<\/p>\n

Did you know that today is both Edgar Allan Poe’s (Jan 19, 1809)<\/a> and Paul C\u00e9zanne’s (Jan 19, 1839) birthday<\/a>?<\/p>\n

It’s also National Popcorn Day<\/a>. I love any excuse to make popcorn. Here’s my favorite brown paper bag popcorn recipe<\/a> on Serious Eats. The oil is optional, if you prefer the “air-popped” taste.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

See ya on the Net,
