It’s subtle, but I only use just enough to pop the kernels. I also have a jar of it by the stove most of the time.

Never tried Ghee. I usually use canola, coconut, or bacon grease. I’m up for more buttery flavor though. Thanks!

The rescue would be miraculous. So, no. Sadly.

Thank you, that was helpful.

I’ve got a 25 year old relative without a license. Guess what he always needs? A ride.

Not to say OP is the same burden. I’m sure you just live in a city with decent transit.

The bus in my town arrives every 90 minutes. For my usual 13 minute drive to the grocery store, it would take 52 minutes according to Google Maps. That’s IF I somehow found myself at the pickup(3 miles from my house), boarded right away, and hopped right back on after shopping. We’re a family of 4, so how many groceries would I be carrying through this ordeal? Probably more than I’d prefer. It’s just not feasible in rural America, and incredibly inefficient.

Public transit is the slowest option everywhere I’ve lived(cities from 5k to 500k population).

Disturbed people, smelly people, loud music, unwelcome conversation, fights, and urine/food/filth on the seating has also made public transit a last resort for me.

Driving and all it’s privileges is an absolute pleasure when you don’t live in too big a city.
