Author's Notes:
Here it is, folks! By popular demand, the cheese dip known to
make women fa int, strong men cry, and small children run for their
mommies. This started out as an attempt to replicate a Chili con Queso
dip, but took off in its own direct ion.

This recipe may be doubled, quadruped or even sextupled without
problem. Go easy on the red pepper if your guests don't like hot food.
The effect, if done correctly, should be an initial impression of
cheese, cumin, sour cream and garl ic followed a second later by a
sinus-cleaning heat. As one partaker has put it ``You have to keep
eating because if you don't, you'll die.'' Guaranteed to inc rease
beer consumption at parties. Good Luck!

Difficulty : very easy.
Precision : Measure the spices, just so you'll know how much you have put
in
.
