It's not really an "ingredient", though. But of course you don't want to
run out of it!

I just got some of that. I totally agree. I am tempted to get more
(as it is a seasonal item at Costco), but I will wait til I get back
to NM. I hope they still have some there....

You can grow ginger from the fresh stuff; just bury a knob from the root in
a pot. Should do very well in your climate :) But I keep ground ginger on
hand, too. I don't use a lot of ginger, though.

Probably more like Marie Callendar pot pies :) Or (in my case) Stouffer's
spinach souffle, which (granted) isn't an entree but I can make a meal out
of it ;)

The "no salt added" canned veggies are also kinda handy.

Ginger does grow here; I've got white ginger (not the cooking kind) in my
yard, now. It should be blooming in about 2 months! yay!

Along with the oft mentioned garlic and onions, I'd add potatoes which can
be baked, grilled, boiled or fried :) I don't tend to keep celery around as
I don't use it that much; it just spoils. I keep Penzey's bell pepper
flakes on hand as I don't use bell peppers much, either.

I keep carrots on hand for my lovebird so if I need carrots I usually have
some. Olive oil, definitely, but also just good old fashioned Wesson (corn)
oil or Canola (gasp) for quick pan-frying. Assorted frozen vegetables for
when I can't get fresh in season (or if the price is outrageous). Butter,
milk, eggs, cheeses. There's a lot more, I'm sure. Oh, and salt & pepper.

I don't worry about salt. The one time I did buy those no salt added canned
veggies I just would up adding salt to them :) They cost more, too.

Actually, they are the same price here and have a better (firmer)
texture and sweeter flavor! The full salt ones tend to be mushy.

Even if I add salt to them, they really are better!

Yabbut.... I rarely buy canned vegetables. I keep some on hand in case
there's a storm and the power goes out for an extended period of time.

I totally understand. ;-)
We use mostly fresh and fresh frozen here, but I'm just trying to pass
on a "treasure".

The no salt added canned really are drastically better! At least to
me... but they are the same price here now for the most part, especially
the store brand.

Condensed milk *would* glop out, to say nothing about being sickly

Heinz Ketchup. I know that's not news, but I refuse to run out of the

I make the coffe, then bring a cup back to the bedroom and softly say,
"Coffee ____." The word, "coffee," will wake her up even if it's
