You will never find these things in my kitchen:
- Canned fruits or vegetables
- Cool-whip
- Processed cheez food of any kind (whiz, spray, individually wrapped "singles.")
- Instant rice (Uncle Ben's, Minute Rice, etc.)
- Creepy processed meat products (bologna, pimento loaf, spam, Jeffu's canned toes, etc.)
- Ho-ho's, Ring-dings, Twinkies, etc.
- Crisco, margarine, butter substitutes of any kind
- Non-alcoholic beer
- Instant pudding
- Pre-chopped garlic
Things I never thought I would end up having in my house, but have, and they weren't that bad:
- Instant mashed potatoes (the frozen bag of potato pellets from Trader Joe's may sound unappealing, but they are actually really good if you make them with milk)
- Instant biscuit mix (I know, this is just gross, but sometimes if I want Tyler to help cook, I have to cut some corners)
- Instant coffee (not the Sanka shit or anything, but I do have some instant espresso that I've used for making ice cream)
- Chicken Stock (or broth) from a can (or box). Seriously, I do make my own, but somehow I always run out faster than I can make more, and frankly, I use a lot of stock for stuff, okay?
- Peeled garlic cloves - I bought these when I was making roasted chicken with 40 garlic cloves, and frankly, they are damned convenient. They taste pretty much the same as regular garlic, too.
