A phone call from my son earrrrrly Friday morning led off with the question asked round the streaming world, “do you remember what streams today?”
For the Netflix loyal, you get it.
Binge watching every episode of your favorite show is a weekend marathon-not a sprint.
Popcorn makes a delicious case for the ultimate binge watching snack.
I’ll be popping up a batch of rosemary and sea salt popcorn for streaming sustenance.
Rosemary and Sea Salt Popcorn
Ingredients
½ cup popcorn kernels
¼ cup canola oil or grapeseed oil (or other high flashpoint oil)
1 tablespoon plus ½ teaspoon fresh minced rosemary
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ teaspoon kosher or sea salt, or to taste
Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
Directions
Heat the oil large pot over medium heat. After the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels and the 1-tablespoon of rosemary, and then shake the pot to gently toss the kernels until they are all coated with oil.
Cover with a splatter screen or a lid that is placed slightly ajar to allow the steam to escape. Cook until the popcorn popping frequency slows to several seconds between pops. Remove from heat, allow a minute or two for any final pops, and then pour into a large bowl.
In a small saucepan combine the butter and remaining ½ teaspoon of rosemary. Melt the butter over medium heat. Drizzle over the popcorn and season with salt and pepper, tossing occasionally as you butter, salt, and pepper the popcorn.
Brilliant writing intertwined with captivating storytelling makes for the sit up and pay attention TV, and sleek set designs aim to impress.
A forged alcove serves as a small space of shelter and refuge from the hustle and the bustle of it’s all in a day’s work- a haven within a haven to vent away the foul of the day.
I am a staunch supporter of the haven within a haven concept for recharging one’s battery.

A couple of years ago I won a Rebecca Swivel Chair after entering the Beautiful Black and White Pinterest Sweepstakes from House Beautiful.
This is my “in my own little corner, in my own little chair” chair.
It resides in a haven within a haven part of the house where downtime meets me time and helps me lose track of real time for a short period of time.
A phone call laaaaate Friday night led off with the question asked round the streaming world, “have you watched it yet?”
Dave the Builder’s man cave will pull double-duty as both screening room and a haven within a haven over the next few evenings.
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like a haven within a haven to stream and decompress.
