OK, the Chile-Heads Bronze Star will be awarded to the first person who
figures out how to make that jalapeño popcorn! 

I make my "hot" popcorn in the microwave....in a brown paper lunch-bag.
After it pops, I pour it into a bowl, spritz with cooking spray (e.g.,
Pam) and sprinkle on whatever I'm in the mood for. I suppose you could
sprinkle on some dried jalapeño flakes?? My favorites are Cajun spice or
Old Bay seafood seasoning....I'm from Chesapeake Bay country!

Good luck!
