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 Sheldon |

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!" Felice |

When I saw this thread I right away thought light cream. I have to have it for my coffee and I make sure I never run out. Closest I get to running out is one backup container. Of course, I also make sure I never run out of cat food because that will make my life miserable, too, but that's another story. nancy |

You can't judge an oil by its country of origin. The countries you list all make some great oils but also some that are not so great. I've also had wonderful olive oils from Morocco, Jordan, and Lebanon. CostCo's oil, from Italy I believe, is a great deal. -- Peter Aitken |

I keep regular olive oil around to fry and saute things in. I am currently using Berio as the commissary stocks it routinely. I'm using Colavito extra virgin for salads and uncooked uses right now. I'm not slave to any particular brand or country of origin and don't mind trying various ones as I find them (my sources vary at times) although I do avoid using a few brands (Progresso, for example). The olive oil produced in Napa Valley is limited and pricey, but I hear it is very good. I've not tried it? |

I usually prefer the Spanish or Italian produced olive oils over the Greek that we can get here. With one exception.. something called "Aegean Gold" - which is Greek. Good stuff (when I can find it). -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

Failing both I'd resort to tea. I like milk in coffee and keep a can of the condensed stuff as a backup. Ran out of milk the other morning and I punched a hole in the condensed milk (in date) can and nothing came out. The contents shook like normal liquid. I punched a larger hole in the can and when I shook it "chunky style" milk glopped out. It had absolutely no smell to indicate it was spoiled. I wondered if it had been overheated in processing or was the residue in the canning machinery. |
