Tahini too great on fish and as a side dish too. I don't like dry milk though and I like the excuse of going out to get fresh milk :-) but my mom always keeps the dry milk for cooking and just in case. I always forget the chickpeas. You are right about the garlic but I just can't bear the smell and no matter how little I buy they usually end up going bad anyway. I guess I could get the dry chips. Thanks Summer, you are the pro cook in this part of the blogsphere, I am just playing. You are right, I always keep mozzarella and lots of canned beans and stuff.

Thank God for living in this day and age, and we have forzen/fresh veggies in your freezer section, i use it all the time to make a great meals. spices are essential and add or change any major meat, veggie or grain to a different cuisine! I always have frozen grated mozzarella cheese in my freezer for a very quick and healthy pizza on wheat pita bread, just broil in your oven and you are set...much healthier, better and tastier than the store bought ones and you control the toppings! Oh, make sure to have cans of chickpeas in your pantry ,or the dry ones would do with more work, they are healthy and tasty , they make great fattat and great dips...Tahini is a must too! Keep a bag of dry milk in your pantry, or the long life milk boxes..it is versatile too and in case you run out of fresh milk. i do not agree with you on garlic in the jar...it has no flavor! one fresh garlic clove goes a long way! but i keep lots of dry onion flakes and dry garlic chip, they are as close to the fresh ones as can be. great list.
