I've been going through this fish sauce pretty fast.
I'm using it as a salt replacement.
No reason to refrigerate really.

If you don't use it quickly, it's a good idea to refrigerate, as the flavor will deteriorate. I also keep oyster sauce, and Chenkiang vinegar refrigerated - two other ingredients that will be ok if used within a few months, but won't keep like soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce at room temp.

I'm down to less than half a bottle..
But I'll refrigerate it.
I just wish I could get my hands on some garum that's supposed to be not as salty.

I saw red ripe Carolina Reapers at HEB today.
How on earth could someone eat those things.

Did they have any disclaimers you have to sign, if buying them?

I was tempted to buy them.
I could make a diluted fermented hot sauce with them with lime and sugar.
What could possibly go wrong.

Since I don't tolerate hot peppers much, I did get seed for the no heat habanero's and bishops hats, all the flavors but not the punishing heat. Pretty good, nice to be able to taste the other flavors there not masked by the burning.

It's really depressing going into our local HEB these days.
40 dollars for a ribeye steak.
Seriously.
That and they're aren't through with the remodeling.
No meat counter or anything to get meat cut.
I mean the place gets worse every time I go in.

I end up refrigerating al my sauces. We dont have A/C and i dont use them fast enough. Red Boat is my favorite fish sauce.

I think it went up a dollar since I bought mine.

Oh it keeps going up. First bottle i got years ago was maybe $6. Same bottle was $17 last time.

What was it the super deluxe?
I think it's 5% protein.
Mine is 4%. At a little over 6 dollars.

Oh maybe. I get a fairly large bottle as well. I go through phases where i make a lot of turkey larb and fresh wraps.

I saw a 64 oz bottle of the 40°N for 33.70 on line.

It is sure handy in a lot of dishes! It would take me a while to get through just that much though!

Lesson learned for free.
All my life I've heard of Peter Lugar steak house in New York City.
What a treat to be able to eat there.
Then I saw Guga eat there and it was garbage.
What a horrible steak.
I almost cried.
My worst steak ever is better than their best.

Picked up a Picanha today at HEB.
Not that I'm out of frozen but getting low.
Against all Brazilian traditions I'm going to try and incorporate Thai flavors into the mix without getting stupid.
I figured if you only put salt on one in Brazil why not fish sauce or oyster sauce.
Maybe some ginger too.
Along with jasmine rice.
Still thinking about it since beef is too expensive to mess up.

Maybe things have changed that much over the years, but I can say Peter Luger's used to be quite good, cooked perfectly, nice meat and sides, very good old fashioned service. Ate there several times when in NY, always worth it. Probably will not eat there again, but it's because I don't want to fly anywhere anymore, and I am a bit old for a road trip from Texas to NYC.

Have no idea who that "guga" is, but everyone has an opinion.

Guga has jumped from nobody to millions of subscribers.
Not exactly a fan of him myself and don't hang on his every word as gospel.
But I saw the steak and it looked pretty bad no charing or whatever you call it on one side.

Anyway I cooked the last Picanha last night.
It had been marinating all week.
The meat was excellent.
Blue rare.
