Let's taco 'bout it!
- Sharon repurposed some leftover ribeye steak and made steak tacos. Ike seasoned it with Penzeys Taco Seasoning, and it turned out well!
- Winter had Sushi Burrito this week and she tried the Yummy Chef's Burrito (it was okay) and Lee had the Hamachi Burrito (amazing!). Winter misspoke on the podcast and these are not in rice paper--it's in seaweed!
- Ike chose this week's topic of popcorn. They play a lot of board games (Exploding Kittens, Donner Dinner Party) and eat popcorn. Winter only play Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride, nothing like the games Sharon and Ike play. It also has been on our list because of Alton Brown's Eat Your Science Tour where he made a popcorn rocket.

- Did you know that popcorn is not genetically modified?
- The tasty and sweet Cracker Jack was created in the 1890s.
- Charles C. Cretor created his popcorn popping machine in the 1885, first based on the steam engine. C. Cretors and Company is still owned by the family today.
- In 1938, Glen Dickson owned several movie theaters and he decided to install popcorn making machines in the theaters and made a LOT of money.
- Movie theater popcorn can provide a day and a half's allowance of saturated fat according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
- Pericarp is the tough outer shell, germ (seed embryo), then the endosperm (has starch). As the heat increases, the water in the endosperm starts to boil/turn into steam and creates pressure, just like your Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
- The Slo Mo Guys recorded popcorn popping. So fun!
- Two researchers in France looked at the physics of popcorn popping. Please check out their paper here.
- There are two shapes: Butterfly (or snowflake) and the Mushroom. The Mushroom-shaped ones are less fragile and are used commercially.
- How do you like to eat your popcorn? Ike likes to put the Penzeys Chip and Dip Seasoning on his popcorn; Winter likes the Chicago-style popcorn (you can get the GH Cretor's popcorn at Costco); and Sharon loves just simple salt and butter, but loves some with candy corn too. Some people love the Japanese rice seasoning (shredded seaweed, sesame seeds, etc).
- On this week's Food Fight episode, we help our listener help a friend navigate a new "diet" that might not be the safest! Chrissy Teigen posted a picture of corn beef and cabbage on Instagram--many people negatively commented on it because it wasn't pretty. She shut them down. John Oliver has a fun segment on Vitamins.
