the lazy gourmet
No, I'm not really a gourmet, but "the lazy guy who is learning to cook" doesn't have the right ring to it.
I'm amazed at the quality of certain frozen foods from Trader Joe's, but I can't find a link to their frozen stuff, so instead I'll recommend A Taste of Thai.
Even a culinary moron can make delicious spicy meals with Taste of Thai products. Our favorite is the red curry base. My advice is to start by following the recipes on the back, but to double the coconut milk and even triple the red curry base itself.
My other advice, long-standing, is to prepare curries, stews, and barbecues the night before you plan to start eating them. The meat takes a while to absorb all that flavor.

I haven't tried the red curry base yet. Sounds good.
Personally, I love their spicy thai peanut bake. I suppose it may taste better if I were to make some peanut sauce from scratch, but I absolutely love their mix.
By the way, I enjoy reading your blog. As a fellow lazy guy who is learning how to cook, albeit slowly, I look forward to trying out that coke stew recipe this weekend when I finally have time to prepare something like that.
meat is murder
