What is Always in Your Kitchen?

We are a group of friends that don’t spend enough time with each other. We like to dissect the world for signs of intelligent life and generally talk about anything and everything with no holds barred. We don’t take things personally. We don’t get upset when someone has a differing viewpoint. We all share in the goods and the not-so-goods of life. We have fun and we laugh together…a lot!

During a recent outing we started talking about what we thought we couldn’t live without. What was SO important to us that we would work to have it at any cost. One of the most vocal questions was “if you were going to be on Survivor, what is the personal item you would take with you?” I have never watched Survivor but I guess the contestants are allowed to bring one or two items of importance with them so that sparked lots of bantering.

This all morphed into a discussion on kitchens and which food items are the ones that you must have in your kitchen at all times. We then agreed to take pictures and post them to our blogs no later than today. Some have posted already and it’s quite interesting what the gentlemen came up with; they seemed to have taken this challenge very seriously.

Here are the staples that you can always find in my kitchen.
