THINGS TO DO: Make Homemade Popcorn

It's fun to make, fun to eat, good for you, and oh, so economical. Buy it organic in bulk from your local health food store and support organic corn seed production. Control the amount of fat and salt you add. Pop extra for school lunches the next day. Eat it up. YUM!

Though I am far from being a great cook, here is my version of how to make popcorn:
1) Place enough oil in the bottom of the pan so your popcorn won't stick. I try to make a lot of popcorn at once so this is about .25 inch for me.
2) Place several kernels in the pan while the oil heats.
3) Once a kernel pops, your oil is hot. Add as much popcorn as you would like to pop.
4) Wait while the kernels heat and pop. You can shake the pan to encourage the "old maids" to fall to the bottom and pop also.
5) Place popped popcorn in a bowl.
6) Melt butter in the pan and then pour over popcorn.
7) Add salt to your liking.
