Recipe Thai Red Curry Chicken

Kroger has fish sauce in the international section. You can also get a good lemongrass paste in the refrigerated area of produce (usually near the fresh herb packets, like sage and mint). You won't be able to get galangal anywhere else besides an Asian grocery store, however.

What you made does look good (and I really like those plates, too!)

The Kroger near me didn't have any. I recruited an employee to assist me in my search. I did a search of Meijer site and it looks like they sell it. Next time I'm out that way I'll grab some.

The only thing I would do differently is the cooking vessel (I'd use a wok or really wide, deep saute pan),

I agree. I forgot we had one in the basement.
 
Conventional wisdom is that basil should be torn, never cut, and just before use. Having said that, I'm only familiar with Mediterranean varieties which are quite delicate.
 
Our main varieties here are Thai basil and holy basil both of which are quite robust.
 
You may or may not believe me but our local superstores here have a whole 10 metre long aisle stacked 2 metre high on one side with bottles of fish sauce.
