Pop up the volume

In these short, dark days that Northern Europe blesses us with, night is eerily upon us by 4:30 pm. And when it’s 4 degrees below, and the rain drops actually hit your face like needles, the urge to do nothing (intensely) save curl up with a bowl of popcorn and a movie will strike. Experimenting with ways to jazz up this timeless snack, I recently came up with the following twist which is, well, pretty darn delish. You can use microwaveable popcorn (is there any other kind?) and pour it—while hot—into a salad bowl pre-filled with this seasoning. Toss heartily and throw yourself on the couch. You’ll feel instantaneously festive.
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- Grated lemon peel (1 lemon), ideally use a micro-grater (magical, 30 seconds to grate a whole lemon)
