If I could add a follow up question to that, what things do you keep on hand all the time. Garlic sure, you mentioned Chimayo chile, salt and pepper etc. Do you find you keep a lot of herbs and spices on hand? Vinegars? Oils? Hot sauces? Dozens of small jars in the fridge of various provenance? Sometimes I feel the need for a lot of these things and other times I think I could make do just a few baiscs. Jeff
