Also, thought I'd mention how cheap this meal was. Probably less than $6 total for a meal for 2 people. Can't beat that!!

I did see the Panang curry paste next to the Red. All the recipies online that I saw for Panang all called for Red. I may try the Panang next time I make it to see if I notice any difference. I really did like the taste of the red. I'm still new to the whole Thai cooking scene, so I have...

Finally picked up the fish sauce and made the Panang Curry. I'm so pleased at how it turned out. I think I did add a little bit too much fish sauce and will adjust for next time. I do taste just a hint of fish. Overall the dish turned out just like it tastes when I get it out. Here's what I...

Thanks for the advice and the warm welcome! I think I have a decision to make. Either the koos-koos, or a simple salad should be perfect. And I'm definately not completely set on the dessert yet if the strawberries aren't available yet. Thanks again, and I'll definately check back and...
