Some days I wonder if he lacks the power of observation, as I stand across the counter from him with lunchboxes spread across the counter, packing thermoses and slicing produce.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes, there&#8217;s school today, but it&#8217;s Friday.&#8221; Friday.

We have a handful of shows that we tune into (we meaning Ole and me more than the kids), but more and more often, our TV is just a pretty black box housed in a large wood cabinet during the week. Weekdays are reserved for reading together on the couch, for homework at the dining room table, for doing activities as a family. As Friday comes around, though, my kids are eagerly anticipating their Friday movie night selections to be enjoyed with a big bowl of stovetop popcorn and the adults are eagerly anticipating theirs&#8217; as well.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI like to make my caramel corn with half sugar and half maple syrup for a deeper, more complex flavor. This particular batch had a bit of whiskey stirred in at the end, in addition to a generous helping of lightly toasted pecans. It&#8217;s sweet and salty with a bit of kick and plenty of crunch, the perfect prelude to the weekend.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16457\" src=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/salted-maple-whiskey-caramel-corn-recipe-over2.jpg\" alt=\"Salted Maple Whiskey Caramel Corn recipe | FoodforMyFamily.com\" height=\"900\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/salted-maple-whiskey-caramel-corn-recipe-over2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/salted-maple-whiskey-caramel-corn-recipe-over2-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Salted Maple Whiskey Caramel Corn\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Shaina Olmanson\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-02-04\",\"recipeYield\":18,\"image\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/salted-maple-whiskey-caramel-corn-recipe-480x480.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/salted-maple-whiskey-caramel-corn-recipe-480x360.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/salted-maple-whiskey-caramel-corn-recipe.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/salted-maple-whiskey-caramel-corn-recipe-480x270.jpg\"],\"prepTime\":\"PT5M\",\"cookTime\":\"PT1H\",\"performTime\":\"PT1H\",\"totalTime\":\"PT15M\",\"recipeIngredient\":[\"16 cups popped popcorn (1\\\/2 cup popcorn kernels, popped)\",\"1 cup lightly toasted pecans\",\"3\\\/4 cup butter (1 1\\\/2 sticks)\",\"1\\\/2 cup brown sugar\",\"1\\\/2 cup maple syrup\",\"1 tablespoon whiskey\",\"1\\\/2 teaspoon sea salt\"],\"recipeInstructions\":[{\"@type\":\"HowToStep\",\"text\":\"Preheat oven to 250\\u00baF.
