Popcorn

I haven't posted for a while, mostly because work has been busy and the garden has mostly been growing, with no additional harvests.  On Saturday when we have time we like to go to the local farmers markets (there is one in Salt Lake and one in South Jordan).  This let's is find locally grown food we don't grow ourselves.  This week we found locally grown popcorn on the cob.

We were told to put it in a paper bag and microwave it until it sounds done.  We tried this and discovered one thing, the bag can't be simply left open.

Shortly after taking this photo we twisted the bag closed (having removed the part that had popped) and tried again.  It promptly caught fire.  This lead us to do the proper research and realize that to properly pop popcorn on the cob you need to place the fist bag upside-down in a second paper bag so that the popcorn is contained, but there is air flow and things will not catch fire.  This lets you have a good amount of locally grown popcorn.
