Banana bread and popcorn

Two short items:

Banana bread - I followed this recipe, using apple sauce instead of butter, and using no nuts but otherwise everything was the same. It was really moist, and we devoured it, especially since we've been depriving ourselves of carbs.

Popcorn - for a cheap, quick, and healthy way to make popcorn, measure out 1/4 or 1/3 a cup of kernels (the kind you buy in the plastic jar) into a brown paper bag. Fold the opening tightly shut (don't fold all the way down the bag.. you get the idea), and microwave on the popcorn setting. I sprayed mine with a little bit of spray oil (after the microwave; it went in totally dry) before adding salt, so that the salt would stick. Unclear if it made a difference; you could probably get away with just salt and no oil.
