Instructions: In Colonial times, Native Americans popped corn by throwing it on hot stones over a fire and catching it as it popped. Today, a far simpler method is popping corn on the cob in the microwave. Place an ear of fresh corn in a brown paper lunch bag, and fold the top of the bag closed. Put it in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes, or until the corn has stopped popping. Transfer the popcorn to a bowl, and add a little salt and melted butter.

Comments: If youre going over to a friends house to watch a movie, bring along a popcorn gift bundle. To make one, roll up an ear of corn in a brown paper lunch bag and tie it with natural twine. Attach a tag to the twine with the popping instructions.
