Staple foods of my kitchen

My favorite fat for cooking

My wife and I have built up such a tolerance for spicy foods that only this seems hot enough. It's so hot that when some of the dust gets in the air, you start sneezing. Dogs run away at the just the smell of it. One flake getting in my kids' food makes them run for milk. Good stuff.

Great for fried Asian foods like Taiwanese fried chicken!

For any frying activities

I use these to season just about everything in place of salt and pepper.

My protein of choice for many things I cook. I buy about 6 pounds of chicken thighs every week to feed my family of five.

I try to include vegetables with every meal, and Romaine salad is the go-to in a pinch

One of my favorite sauces since I was a kid. Awesome on broiled fish or seared in burgers and steaks.

I typically have sushi rice, brown rice, Basmati rice, and parboiled rice in stock at all times

Almond milk for protein shakes, oat milk for my coffee

Regular coffee for when I'm drinking caffeine, decaffeinated coffee for when I'm not, but I always have coffee in the kitchen

I have normal soda maybe once a year or two? For the past several years I've been drinking flavored sparkling water instead of soda. I'm too old for soda now.

For general stovetop cooking

I keep lots of different types of nuts in the pantry for snacking. I figure it's healthier than chips or cookies.

Very versatile. I can chop them up and cook with them, or give them to the rabbits or dog in my household as treats.
