Savory Rice
2 cups COLD chicken stock
4 teaspoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
1 1/2 cups instant rice
Stir chicken stock and flour together vigorously with a fork until smooth. Heat flour mixture and all remaining ingredients except rice in a saucepan to boiling. Stir in rice and cover. Remove from heat and let sit for five minutes. Uncover and stir. Rice may need to be cooked, stirring constantly, for a couple more minutes if there is any standing water. Do not cook too long as this will make the rice too dry. Remove from heat and let the rice soak up any remaining liquid. Serve and enjoy.
Easier version: Stir chicken stock and flour together as directed above, then combine all ingredients in a microwave safe bowl. Cook on high for 7 minutes. Let stand for two minutes, then serve.

Caramel Popcorn
10 cups popped, unflavored popcorn, no butter added
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Pour popcorn in a greased 9 by 13 inch baking dish. Cook sugars, butter, corn syrup and salt in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan until they reach 255 to 260 degrees on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount of the mixture pressed between two fingers forms a hard ball that holds its shape but is pliable. Pour in the baking soda and stir until foamy. Immediately pour over the popcorn and stir until well coated. Cool for approximately one hour, then break apart and enjoy. Store in a closed container.
