Bacon parmesan popcorn satisfies a craving for salty, crunchy snacks

Popcorn is the official state snack food of Illinois. I'm not much of a popcorn fan — I can eat it, but don't really care if I ever do. However, I know I'm in a distinct minority with regard to my lack of affection for this treat. Michigan will be ...
