Only My Stomach Says Thank You For Latest Amarillo Shortage

This shortage has really got me a little upset. OK, let's be honest it has me a lot upset. My stomach, on the other hand, thanks those involved. I have had a little break from it tearing my stomach up. Oh, but I love it.

It has been a few months. This one item has been on my shopping list for months now. At any store, I go to I head to the Asian section to see if my prayers have been answered. Still no. I asked when I was at United the other day. You know they always ask if I found everything ok. I did not.

I can't find my obsession anywhere. It's a ground fresh chili paste and I use it on a lot of stuff. When we get takeout from Thai Arawan I get some from there but I always need more. They do not give out a lot either. I am sure they know about this shortage.

I have an 18 oz bottle at home. We usually pour it out all willy-nilly when we are eating at home. Now we are rationing ourselves. We have been looking for a new bottle for several months now.

All I find are empty shelves. When I asked they wanted to know if there was a spot for it on the shelf. There was. I read online that there was a shortage of peppers and that its hard to find their sriracha but nothing about this chili paste.

I can't find it at Walmart. I can't find it at United. The first place I ever bought it was at World Market. Nope, not there either. What is going on in Amarillo?

Why is there a shortage? Is it because of the peppers? That is what I am thinking. All I know is we need to figure this out soon. I need this spice in my life. I need my stomach to hate me again.

If you have seen this chili sauce on the shelves here in Amarillo please help me out. Let me know.
