Persephone, I forgot about that. I think I’m gonna start calling it “Chili Crack” instead of “Taco Crap” in your honor. 
Thanks, porcupine. I’ve spent the last two days while the boards were down trying to ignore the clarion call of your dip…
God I’m so weak. I’ve got tomorrow off work. I’m going to make myself a huge bowl and eat every last freaking bit.
sob
Persephone, please, I beg you…don’t do it. It’s a gateway food! It will lead to bigger and harder foods. Pretty soon, you won’t get the same feeling from eating just a few chips with Chili Crack. It will take more and more for you to feel it and eventually, your life will revolve around Chili Crack.
As for me…I’m in de-tox right now.
Tibs.
I was actually about to say this. I could have sworn that T3 was made in order to prevent Od’ing, because if you took too much you would get sick.
Speaking from experience, I can tell you that on the many occasions that I took T3 (hey this is back when I was badtm) it would make my stomach upset a good majority of the time.
It didn’t upset my stomach the other times I took it - only when I combined it with Chili Crack.
And Meatros, I’m still giddy over being in your signature line. heh. Let me just repeat: I bow down to your Joey Tribiani like wisdom.
Tibs.
I suppose certain food combo’s might have something to do with it. Around my house it is well known that you do not give me pizza and alcohol, unless you want to clean up vomit. The two in any amount will make me hurl.
Hey, thank you for saying it! It still cracks me up from time to time when I decide to include it!
Ted, is that you?
You might retch at this suggestion, and it might not work for you anyway, but try swishing a long time with Listerine.
Twice I had an infected tooth (that eventually had to be extracted) and I know what the pain is like. I was scarfing down Extra Strength Exedrin as if they were M&Ms and it wasn’t helping. Finally, thinking that infection is partially caused by bacteria dancing around with pitchforks, I got some blue Listerine (even I couldn’t stomach the thought of the beige stuff) and swished long and often. The pain went away! Now, I don’t know if it was because I was numbing my mouth, or if I really was killing pain-inducing bacteria, but I didn’t care. I was able to stop taking the pills, and was able to last the week until my dentist’s appointment.
It may sound nasty, it did to me, but when I was in pain, I would have eaten kitty litter if I thought it would help, so I was willing to try it. You might try it too.
Oh, I just noticed the date of your OP. I’m a few days behind, sorry. I assume it’s all taken care of by now.
So, what’s the recipe for this chili dip that everybody’s talking about?
Equipoise - that is an excellent suggestion and one that a friend made to me as well. I tried it and it definitely helps with the pain - not to mention that I had fantastic breath.
The pain is almost entirely gone now. The swelling is gone and I can chew normally and don’t look like a squirrel with some nuts tucked away in my cheek. Few more days of antibiotics and then I go to the dentist for my referral to get these puppies yanked the hell out. I want to be completely under.
Please, no one tell me a wisdom tooth extraction horror story. Oh what the hell. You know I’ll enjoy them. Tell! Tell all!!
Ethilrist, I feel as though I am passing on to you the Olympic torch…or better yet, the one true Ring and asking you to carry it to the fires of Mount Doom. Read on, if you are true of heart and can withstand the temptation:
Porcupine’s Chili Crack
One package (8 ounces?) of cream cheese. Let soften a bit. Spread over bottom of round baking dish (I used a glass one, about 9 inches across). Open can of chili. Dump on top. Spread about 2 cups of grated cheese on top. I used cheddar. Nuke at low temp (to prevent it exploding) until cheese is melted and stuff is warm.
Dip chip into mixture or spoon mixture on to chip. Or shove face in dish and scarf. Whatever works for you.
I may regret this…I’ve never dealt chili crack before. Damn, it’s good.
Tibs.
Okay, I just have to share, with
Singular1’s Pickapeppa Percodan
(had to have a drug in there somewhere)
This is too easy-
Put a hunk of cream cheese on a plate.
Let it get soft.
Pour a bunch of pickapeppa sauce on said soft cheese.
Spread on triscuits.
Eat till you get sick.
