Pantry Staples

Everyone culminates "their" pantry staples, right?  I mean, as you learn what you like to eat and cook, your pantry becomes distinctly "yours."  When new members of your family come along, pantry needs shift ... and as ones tastes evolve the pantry does the same.  I also believe that pantries betray the season, don't you?  Hot chocolate is much more prevalent in mine during the winter than in the summer, but I digress.

Some of my staples are:
Fluff
Grits
Oatmeal
Golden Syrup
Maple Syrup
Cous cous
Tuna Fish 
Beans - for chili, hummus, English Breakfasts etc...
Tomato Sauce
SPICES!!!  :o)
Pasta - usually elbow noodles
Veggies
TEA - Lady Grey, English Breakfast, MInt and a few others
White Vinegar
Soy Sauce
Brown Sugar
Brownie and or Cake Mixes
and
Cereal - usually Honey Nut Cheerios

I mean, it's pretty much a guarantee that you'll find these things on my shelf.

At certain points in the year Cream of Mushroom Soup is there.  And there are times when I've got my "Greek" on, and you'll find Dolmas in there too.  And of course ... the things that come and go when the mood strikes...but staples are staples and you can almost ALWAYS find them in my closet!  ;o)

What about you?
