This is my appreciation post for my new neighbor, Maria, who is an absolute delight and she just gave us a jar of her chili oil to taste test.

She said she started making her own chili oil because the stuff from the store isn't spicy enough for her, so she's been trying to make her own so we just tried it on our Friday night pizza and it's seriously SO good! Like the perfect blend of spiciness and garlickiness and crunchiness.

Anyway, all of this to say that everyone should have a neighbor like Maria.

"All should have a neighbour like Maria" to the tune of "Maria" from The Sound of Music

@Alice our neighbors make their own chili oil also and we can smell it cooking because our back wall is one of their side walls. i think it's for the shumai they sell. they've never offered us any chili oil or shumai because business is business, i suppose 🥟

@Alice my mom always made her own chili oil. But on those days you'd need a gas mask to walk thru the kitchen, the smoke/vapors would sting your eyes and nostrils. Liquid fire at the end of the process...

@Alice whoaaa I want to be the Maria

Maybe I'll look into how to make chili oil

Is probably harder than I'm expecting though 💀

@hazelnot Yeah, I agree! She reached out earlier in the day just to ask if I was interested, so I think it was a long process.

It's probably one of those things that is cheaper to buy once you factor in your own time and buying ingredients, but you're getting paid in the satisfaction of knowing that you created something on your own. And in Maria's case, 1000 times better than the stuff from the store.
