Can't wait to try this!

This looks great and easy. I'm lucky because my dad grows kaffir lime, lemon grass, and thai chilis, which are all part of our culture as well. I'm looking forward to trying palm sugar. (Gotta say the narrator's pronunciation of the kaffir as "kaf-fire" is killing me.)

Also, I agree with everyone that ginger and galangal are very different. Galangal tastes very woody to me.
