Cooking dinner tonight (superb, worthy of any restaurant I've been to in this city*) I was thinking of a meme: what five out-of-the-ordinary ingredients do you like to have on hand at all times?
For me:
1. fresh parsley;
2. fresh lemons. Now that I have lemons, I won't use bottled lemon juice any more;
3. those "Stackers" pickled red pepper slices in the jar;
4. microwave popcorn (we live on it); and
5. fresh tomatoes, any size, as long as they are ripe.
What are your picks? Comment below!
*pan-fried tilapia with a cayenne/basil crust and mango salsa; basmati rice; corn-off-the-cob salad with tomatoes, parsley and celery.

1. Bottled lime juice
2. Sliced black olives
3. Jar of green olives
4. Shaved prosciutto frozen and ready
5. Canned chipolte peppers in adobe sauce
Now I'm hungry.
Posted by: Lisa at June 29, 2007 10:04 PMMy Top 5
1. Instant Rice (Quick and Easy)
2. Ramon Noodles (Easy to make and cheap to buy)
3. Microwave Popcorn (I live on it also)
4. Miller Lite Beer or Sutter Home White Zinfandel
Great to cleanse the pallot from all that great food above
5. One Tin of Copenhagen (Just a pinch between my cheek and gum. Not recommended for use in fine cooking though)
