I LOVE that stuff!<br />Being Filipino soy sauce gets used a lot in my house and so does apple cider vinegar. <br />I have found that if you go to the Authentic Mexican foods section of a grocery store that the spices are much cheaper, and they taste better in my opinion. I don't know if it is true of other places, but that's how it is here in NC.Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700383690878839987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-212331437974889232010-03-29T19:38:33.711-08:002010-03-29T19:38:33.711-08:00I forgot pure vanilla, hickory salt, and I like Ca...I forgot pure vanilla, hickory salt, and I like Cavender's greek seasoning, especially on moose steak, and we use a creole spice mix on salmon fried in olive oil. tasty! :)Our son Kadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425018915753565632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-5536871643940338842010-03-29T18:59:29.952-08:002010-03-29T18:59:29.952-08:00My husband enjoys foods significantly spicier/hott...My husband enjoys foods significantly spicier/hotter than I even think about eating. As a result, we have perhaps 5-6 different brands/varieties of hot sauce in our spice cabinet. As for the rest of my cabinet, it is not nearly as extensive as yours. I've recently been trying to broaden my recipe repertoire so I'm hoping to start adding some new ones. At least I recognize everything you have listed, hehehe.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027223974027853544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-3682894411737876022010-03-29T18:49:01.050-08:002010-03-29T18:49:01.050-08:00Chipotle Tabasco.

Also use onion salt, sage, paprica(k?), occassionally dill weed, and I keep ranch dressing powder handy, I also like to keep red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, and balsamic vinegar handy, occassionally use allspice when I'm making ginger snaps, and I keep a variety of cooking oils, since I use them differently depending on what I'm making, thouhg mostly I like corn or canola. That's all I can think of right now. :)Our son Kadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425018915753565632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-50634636912441997352010-03-29T09:57:48.139-08:002010-03-29T09:57:48.139-08:00The only ones I don't have on that list are sa...The only ones I don't have on that list are saffron and horseradish. I don't care for horseradish, and saffron is just too expensive. I don't have any pre-made stir-fry or teriyaki sauce, because I just make my own every time. <br /><br />As far as what you're missing:<br /><br />caraway seeds<br />coriander<br />cayenne pepper<br />crushed red pepper<br />Tabasco <br />cholula sauce<br />fennel seed<br />allspice<br />garam masala<br />Tony Chacheres<br />ground mustard (or did I miss that?)<br />curry powder <br />orange peelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
