Crunchy foods prove nearly impossible to resist. Especially with a cold beer, surrounded by friends, and a good game playing on the television. We pretend not to care about the calories (or the score) in favor of fun.

For this year’s big game, our go-to, endless snack bowl starts with homemade buttered popcorn. Most of the year, air-popped corn suffices. For special occasions, we pull out the saucepan specifically designated for stovetop popping the corn kernels.
