Suz --

The original recipe from Dave (which I don't have, or I would just repost) was
pretty much as follows:

1 pint dried chiles
1 pint peeled garlic
1 tsp salt
white vinegar to cover

I took a quart Mason jar and filled it half way with garlic, then stuffed it to
full with dried chiles.  I used kosher salt (always do), so I doubled the
amount.  I poured white vinegar over it and it has been sitting for several
weeks in a cool place.  I opened it after about three weeks to add a little
more vinegar and there was some spewage -- we've got a little fermentation
going on, I think.

try it with some steamd rice and kimchee this weekend.
