A Recipe... for Terror!

I’m a bit tried this morning. I had a tough time sleeping last night and I had some pretty graphic nightmares. I won’t go into the gory details, but let’s just say it involved homicide and a sledgehammer. I have a wild imagination. I rarely dream and even more rarely do I have bad dreams or nightmares. After some thought, I think I can I know why my dreams were so dark: my famous chorizo chili.

Yesterday, I made chorizo chili. I’ll spare you the recipe for now, but it contains hot chorizo sausage, jalapenos, garlic, beer, whiskey, and garlic. Those are all the right ingredients for a good night sleep, right? Well… apparently not. I made chili for me and my 3 roommates and we all had weird dreams. Not everyone had nightmares, but all 4 of us had some form of a weird dreaming experience. I've spent the morning trolling Google looking for a scientific explanation for this phenomenon, with such luck. I’m going to have to assume that the dreams are a byproduct of the combination of booze and hot peppers.

What foods give you crazy dreams?

What about Gummy Tummy Penguins? Do those give you nightmares?

I don't know if this counts, but there was this place in Amherst, MA a while back called Fatzo's Burgers. If you were to take on one of the larger burgers, you would most likely be subject to a meat coma complete with terrifying visions of cows being slaughtered while you were sweating and hoping to make it through digestion.
