She uses those little Thai zinger peppers, the ones that look like they

grow our own, but in the winter she gets fresh ones up in Colorado Springs in
a little Thai grocery there...gotta use fresh ones, dried won't do...and a bit
of crushed garlic clove to suit your taste, and chopped shallots, coarse or
fine to suit your taste...and nampla or nuouc mam....and lime squeezins'
to suit (most everything is to suit..which is why it's hard to write down
one of her recipes) when the solids are added in the correct amount you will
have something about the consistency of a watery relish...stick it in the
icebox for a few days to ferment...ummmm....age gracefully...and it should be
ready to use on rice or soups...or to rub down the average steak. Not too
