In my country, people say that we need to paint life with different tastes to make it more colorful. And the most interesting taste is from spicy hot sambal (Indonesian word for condiment sauce).
This one, is home made sriracha, hot chilly sauce from Thailand (or Indochina?). It is usually being sold in plastic bottles. In Indonesia, people are utterly maniac with this kind of Sambal, we call it sambal botol, because it is sold in bottles. One mark that people seems so attached to is sambal botol ABC. Many people are addicted to add this sauce in their plate, just to have the chemical taste of it, haha. I used to be a fan of this sambal in bottle thing, but not anymore. Since i moved to France, i have completely forgotten the joy of adding it to most of my plate... nowadays, i try to eat healthier (huh, but i am still hooked to Indomie, a brand of instant noodle from Indonesia - an accused of the responsible for the health problem of many many poor Indonesian people).
The original recipe is from this site. The sriracha that i make, actually reminds me of sambal Lampung (a hot chilly condiment from Lampung, a city in South of Sumatera, Indonesia).I used only 6 of Thai chillies, 3 chopped tomatoes (i don't use canned tomatoes, as..well.. i just want my sambal to be purely homemade. And the vinegar that i used is only the normal white one, and after having them all cooked, I blend to have a smooth sambal texture.
And you know what? I dropped half of my sambal on the floor by accident when I wanted to blend it with my hand blender. This accident was thus followed by a big drama between my big mouth-big attitude and my mr. Gorilla's... huh >:( but anyway, thanks to the photo session, which result you can see above, things between us were back to normal again as if there were nothing going on. The drama was neutralized, no damage done. I think he was greatly seduced with my settings for the photo session that he wanted to participate in and forget the stupid sambal drama. He installed the lights, and voilà the picture is there...(i put the 'before' and 'after' having it blent. Guess which is which!! :p)
My conclusion:
drama = sambal in our life! ;°)
