  NOTES:
  
  *  Indonesian relish with lime, chili and basil -- This recipe comes from
  the "Time/Life Pacific and Southeast Asian Cooking." I've been unable to
  find a recipe even remotely resembling it in any other Indonesian cookbook.
  I like to cross-reference recipes and learn where they came from, but only
  the Time/Life reporters seem to have found this one. In any event, it's
  quite wonderful. Not for the faint of heart.
  
  : Difficulty:  easy.
  : Time:  5 minutes preparation, 2 hours sitting.
  : Precision:  no need to measure, but count the chili peppers.
