ROSEMARY POPCORN
Steps:
- In a large pot, heat the corn and olive oil. Add the corn kernels. When the oil is very hot, the corn will start to pop. Shake the pot frequently to avoid burning. When the popping has stopped, the popcorn is finished.
- Transfer to a large bowl and season with salt, pepper, rosemary, and butter. Try to serve warm.
KALE-DUSTED PECORINO POPCORN
Pecorino is one of my favorite cheeses. I like to joke that it's dainty Parmigiano-Reggiano's loud Roman cousin-saltier, funkier, and a little goes a much longer way. Given that this popcorn is green and has the word "kale" in the title, it has proved to be shockingly popular among the preschooler set (to whom I'd bring it for class snacks when it was our turn) as well as adults.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 300°F. Rinse and dry the kale; no worries if you don't get every last droplet of water off. Remove and discard the tough stems.
- Lightly brush two large baking sheets with olive oil-the thinnest coat is just fine. Arrange the leaves in one layer on the prepared baking sheet(s), sprinkle lightly with salt, and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the leaves are crisp. Let cool completely. In a food processor, with a mortar and pestle, or even with a muddler in a bowl, grind the kale chips down into a coarse powder.
- Place 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 or 3 kernels of popcorn in a 3-quart or larger pot. Turn the heat to medium-high, and cover with a lid. When you hear these first kernels pop, add the remaining kernels and replace the lid. Using pot holders, shimmy the pot around to keep the kernels moving as they pop. When several seconds pass between pops, remove from the heat.
- Transfer to a bowl, and immediately toss with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil, kale dust, Pecorino, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Taste, and adjust the seasonings if needed.

PECORINO WITH HONEY, ROSEMARY, AND WALNUTS
Good b4 or after a meal according to your taste and tradition. I have also served this as a salad course with some baby mixed greens tossed with a little oil and salt. And no one says you can't just sit in front of the TV and have a snack of it with a hunk of italian bread :-) If you have rosemary infused oil then you can use it instead of the oil and rosemary, saving a few steps and 2 hours of time. Cook time is the steeping time. Use your favorite Pecorino, I go for a nice Tuscan one at the cheese shop but a Pecorino Romano at the grocer. I have no idea where the 16 walnut halves came from. Just use your own taste as a guide as to how many nuts to use or don't use any, its still good without.
