Well, as Jim Sr is aware, my late father was the guy who drove the first
motorized fire engine in the city of Toronto, in the early 1900's, and
when I joined the R.C.A.F. in the early fifties, as a photographer, one
of the neat jobs we all got to do
at least once every two months, was fire picket duty, which lasted for a
week every two months. Well once when I was on this neat job, a fire
erupted in the base garbage dump, and of course, it happened when I was
on duty.....oh boy, really neat.....have you ever tried to fight a fire
in a garbage dump, which spontaniously ignited, in the middle of the
night? I would rather eat chiles....speaking of which, and to try and
stay on topic, I picked up a jar of Sambal Badjak, made in USA and sold
by Huy Fong Foods....www.huyfong.com in Rosemead California. A little
too much oil to eat from the jar, as I found out, but for cooking it
will be great, I will just use less peanut oil!.....no affilliation,
etc., etc., but I wish I had, the way these guys put stuff on the
market. Great flavor, like as in HOT, and it stays with you also, the
result of the oil....for all you vinegar lovers??? it does have vinegar,
but it has so much oil that the vinegar disappears. Anyway, there ya go,
with some ancient history! And some recent as well! Cheers, Doug in
BC....and Joy, turn that poor mister loose, ifn ya got too much water in
the greenhouse!!
