Many rural root cellars aren't under the house near the water table but
built into the sides of sandy hills so they are dry.

     Title: Everyday Dipping Sauce Ii 
Categories: Vietnamese, Dips, Sauces, Condiments
  Servings: 1/2 cup

      1 TB chopped garlic                           
      2 TB sugar                                    
      ½ ts chile-garlic sauce, hot
           sauce or
      1 ts hot red pepper flakes                    
      3 TB Asian fish sauce                         
           Water                                    
      2 TB freshly squeezed lime juice

For busy week night version, combine garlic, sugar, chile-garlic
sauce, hot sauce or hot red pepper flakes, fish sauce, 3 tablespoons
water and lime juice in a mini-food processor or blender, and grind
to a fairly smooth paste.

Use this more traditional version if time permits: Combine garlic
and sugar in bowl of mortar and grind to a coarse paste, mashing and
scraping with spoon to grind it fairly evenly. (Or pour sugar over
garlic on cutting board and mash and scrape it to a coarse paste
using back of large spoon.) Scrape garlic paste into medium bowl and
add chili-garlic sauce, fish sauce, 3 tablespoons water and lime
juice. Stir to dissolve sugar. Transfer to bowl or jar, cover and
refrigerate up to 1 week.
