We had a simple meal for our Nebraska dinner. It was a very Cornhusker dinner, if you will. We had corn dogs, homemade popcorn and Eskimo Pies for dessert.A corn dog (just in case someone doesn't know) is a hot dog dipped in a cornmeal batter and then deep fried.
When I don't use the air popper I make Olive Oil Popcorn. I follow the same instructions as you would to make popcorn with a canola oil but with a healthier oil.
Olive Oil Popcorn
1/4 Cup Olive Oil into a skillet
Add a single kernel of corn
Cover and heat at medium heat
When the kernel pops add enough corn to cover the bottom of the pan
Cover and shake
When the popping slows down, remove the pan from the heat
Salt to taste
Then for dessert we had Eskimo Pie ice cream bars. Christian Kent Nelson, a school teacher and candy shop owner in Iowa, invented the Eskimo Pie in 1921, when a boy in his shop couldn’t decide between an ice cream and a candy bar. But it wasn't until Nelson traveled to Nebraska, where he met Russell Stover who helped him patent the idea and dub it “Eskimo Pie.”
Next up is a state famous for their buffets.
