We've got the WCPB too, and haven't bothered buying curry powder since we got it -- it taught us to make our own. Fresh-made curry powder has its own perfume, mostly from the coriander.

This is an excellent book for general, worldwide chile recipes and will give you good grounding in how to handle chilis well in cooking.

My edition, over ten years old, may be getting a little dated: it doesn't have Scovill data on the latest incandescent chili pepper, the Red Savina, reported to cook along at 50,000 Scovills. Habaneros run about 30,000.

We've got a bottle of the stuff. The label is covered with blunt caveats, like This Stuff Bites.
