For Christmas my loving children gave me a very nice covered wok in which we'll be doing stir-fry and other dinners. Last night, however, we discovered an unanticipated use: popping real popcorn.

My wife called me from her office. "What do you want for dinner? I'll stop at the store on the way home." I thought a moment and replied, "Steelhead Trout is on sale at Safeway." Instead of looking in any of our cookbooks, I went online and googled "steelhead trout," scanned the options, and chose a recipe .
