Cob Popcorn

I sometimes buy popcorn on the cob from a farmer that grows it. I bought these dry cobs at the last farmers market of the season

The package included a paper bag and instructions for popping a cob: Two minutes on high...

I noticed that the paper bag he had included this year was thinner than other years. And it did make a difference!

The hot cob burned a hole in the paper and popcorn started flying out! Fortunately there was no fire!

 The popcorn still tasted very good!

I'll have to mention this little problem to the farmer next time I see him - so that he'll upgrade his bags to a batter quality paper next year.
