Corn Fritters (Mock Oysters)



                                                                                   Why are they called mock oysters?

I  used bell pepper, salt, black pepper, green onions and paprika in my mix. I didn't use cracker crumbs or corn meal.

There you have it.

Amish Bakery


Dutch Oven Bakery is an Amish bakery located in   Falkville, Alabama. I took a day trip with others to see what they offered. 

Inside did not disappoint. It was chock full of goodies. You can see pictures here.



I bought these items.


I've had success using this microwave popcorn popper


There are many varieties of corn. All of it isn't yellow or white. 



You are probably wondering if the popcorn turns red  after popping? No it doesn't.
It turns out white and the kernels are smaller than the yellow that I'm used to. 

There seemed to be less husk to get out of my teeth and throat.

I seasoned it the first time with a little powdered Ranch seasoning from the salad mix pack. The popcorn seasonings in the shakers are expensive and they have little to no taste to me.
