  1. For instance: I have a "panic attack" if I get down to only one head of
    (white skinned) garlic in my kitchen...

    So what do *you* always make sure you have in stock?

    Good answer... really the only answer.

    But if I can only choose one I can trump that... chocolate! <G>

    Actually I never have chocolate in stock, it's never around long
    enough to become stock... I don't think I've ever actually put any
    chocolate into the cupboard... often it never makes it all the way
    home. hehe

    Coffee and hot sauce are tied. Don't do well without either.

    Milk for my morning coffee. If I don't have that on hand I just call it
    quits and go back to bed for the day.

    Lord, that would be a long list! A few things that come to mind:

    Garlic, indeed!
    Onions
    Olive oil
    Rice
    Eggs
    Vinegar (balsamic and wine)
    butter
    pasta

    Coffee; get more anytime there's less than two pounds left.
    Cream. HEAVY whipping cream. For the coffee. None of that powdered
    plastic stuff for me!

    Olive oil.

    What kind of olive oil to you prefer? e.g. Greek, Italian, Spanish etc.?
    Unfortunately I have never seen olive oil produced in the USA available
    here, but I believe that it is pretty good too?

    Milk for my morning coffee. If I don't have that on hand I just call it
    quits and go back to bed for the day.

    If you tell me that it's "low fat" or "fat free" milk, I will also stay
    in bed tomorrow 😉

    I always have two levels of backup on that one. I keep cans of
    evaporated milk in stock as the first level backup and a jar of powdered
    creamer as the second level backup. Failing both I'd resort to tea.

    Not a bad list Peter.... and I just remembered a few other things:

    Bacon
    Mustard (in various 'types'😉
    Coconut milk (for certain curries)
    Soy sauce
    Mushrooms (also of various types)
    and Peanut Butter - LOL - we use that for peanut sauce...

    Uh oh. As a rule it's 2% because I heat it and do a cafe au lait. But when I
    need a real dose I use heavy cream and I float it. That's a lost art: my
    kids used to beg "Float the cream, Mommy!"

    Sorry. I can't accept evap or powdered. If there ain't no milk, there ain't
    no coffee. Tea is the backup.

    It *has* to be cream. I can't stand gray coffee.

    Carrots, Onions, Celery, Salt free lemon pepper, Garlic, Fresh Ginger
    root, and believe it or not, Broccoli! Dad loves that stuff. :-)

    Oh, and some kind of home made stock, and Olive Oil.
