Go get yourself some good popcorn, put 1/4 cup in a brown lunch bag along with a couple teaspoons of oil and some salt if you like. Fold the top down twice and put one or two staples in it. Toss in the microwave for about 3 minutes or until there's a few seconds between pops.
Incredibly cheaper, healthier and yummier. I like to make it plain then melt some butter, drizzle and salt with popcorn salt. YUM-O!!
Also, if you haven't checked out Moda Bake Shop yet, you really should. Marie has a link to them on her personal blog and holy smokettes, they have some fantastic projects.

Don't the staples in the bag cause problems? I've done this before, but without the staples - just folding it tight. Because the bag doesn't stay all the way closed, it doesn't pop all the way. Fortunately I have a great popper that I love to use, so I rarely buy microwave stuff. Only when I can get it almost free with a coupon!
We usually use a piece of tape to avoid using the metal staples.
Okay, well I'll tell you that I was watching one of my Good Eats videos on corn. Alton Brown did this and he used two staples. He did not address microwave issues, but I know in my own microwave you can have small amounts of metal (even foil) and as long as it doesn't touch the sides it's fine.
REALLY???? I am kind of scared to do the staples in the micro but also curious cause we could save a lot of $$ doing it this way, I may just have to try this! Thanks!
i just stumbled onto this blog and HOLY COW! i had no idea you could do this! i'm going to go try it right now...
