The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Family night just got better. Put a homemade touch on one of America's most recognized movie snack! Try decorating your own brown bag before popping your kernels. An experience you won't get at the cinema.

1/2 cup unpopped popcorn
3 tablespoons melted butter
salt, to taste
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese or other toppings (optional)
Place the unpopped popcorn in a brown paper bag. Fold the top of the bag over by 1/2-inch. Fold it again so it is now folded over twice. Seal the bag with two staples that are at least 3 inches apart. This will keep them from sparking in the microwave.
Place the bag in the microwave and cook on high power for 2-3 minutes, or until the popcorn is only popping about 5 seconds apart.
Remove the bag from the oven and carefully open it. It will be hot.
Transfer the popcorn to a bowl. Drizzle it with melted butter and season to taste with salt and cheese or other desired toppings. Serve immediately.
