That’s so funny, I think you have a really good memory for board esoterica, I don’t know how you missed these things.

I get that the crush predates Barry moving in, but Joe is very clearly his father figure. There’s sweetness there too of course, it’s not ONLY weird. But it’s always going to be weird to me -

It will never not be weird to me that the main romance in The Flash is between people raised as siblings, the only living parental figure they both have is the same guy. I know that’s only superficially related to what you said but I can’t get over that everyone just ignores this. -

Yeah I imagine the sauces and oils I bought at the Asian market today will last my white ass until the end of time -

I heartily recommend it. You could get away with cutting the recipe in half and you’d be out probably $5 for ingredients. A lot of the spicy food I’m used to eating is South Asian or American, so the fish sauce really adds a different dimension. Dunno specifically beyond some friends saying that the yellow bottle caters to Thai taste and the blue bottle caters to Vietnamese taste. -

It’s not much to look at imgur.com IMGUR.COM Imgur: The magic of the Internet I do like it with lime, but this time I didn’t use it in favor of adding a squeeze when I’m dishing it out. Your fish and chip idea sounds incredible. -
When I was in Bangkok 8 years ago, I had prik nam pla for the first time and I immediately fell in love. It’s two ingredients, Thai fish sauce (fermented anchovies with salt and sugar), and sliced Thai chilis. Sometimes it also has lime juice, sugar, or a couple slices of garlic, but at its simplest it’s just chilis (prik) and fish sauce (nam pla). Mine has a few slivers of garlic in it but no sugar or juice, and I let the mixture marinade for a couple hours before using it. As you’d imagine it’s quite aromatic and rather spicy. I made myself some basic Chinese American style chicken and broccoli tonight and it was pretty good on its own. But I loaded up white rice with the prik nam pla to go with it and it’s a flavor sensation. My mouth is on fire and I never want this feeling to end. If you like heat in your food and the notion of fermented anchovy in liquid form doesn’t turn you off, I highly recommend you give it a go. My ratio was about 1/2 cups of Megachef brand fish sauce (the one with the yellow cap, not the one with the blue label), 12 Thai chilis sliced into about 1/8 - 1/4 inch pieces, and half a clove of garlic sliced thinly. Stir it up, let it rest for a couple hours, then go to town. It’ll keep in the fridge for a bit after that but I’d eat it at room temperature. I’d also probably keep it in a glass container, I imagine it’d be hard to get the aroma out of plastic. My only regret is that for no good reason, I waited 8 years after my first trip to Southeast Asia to decide I should have it on hand at all times.
