QotD: Kitchen Essentials

What are the 10 foods you must have in your refrigerator and/or your kitchen cabinet? 
Submitted by Carol.  

I must have some food in my fridge? Erm. Okay, I know what ten foods I do always have in the fridge/cupboard:

 

Rancid milk

Mouldy carrots

Half jar of pesto of uncertain vintage

Bag of wholewheat pasta with not quite enough pasta for a snack in

Half packet of mistakenly purchased dry kitten food

1 egg a day away from it's use-by

Bottle of screw cap white wine slowly turning to vinegar

Almost empty tube of tomato puree no-one remembers buying

Sachet of hollandaise sauce that 'might come in useful for picnics'

Half a bottle of strawberry liquer

 

Yeah so maybe I should look at our shopping habits a bit closer...

When does your hollandaise sauce go off? You'll need to have a picnic soon before then - else what a waste of energy keeping it!

Who knows, it came packaged up with some salmon but I just wolfed the salmon straight out of the packet without realising there was dressing included. I don't really like to dress stuff anyway. Meh.

There are always - but ALWAYS - mouldy carrots in my fridge. And this morning I found milk that had turned red. Red!

Red? Who poured ketchup in?

I have been on my own all week as Big Boy is away on business (I often think that 'on business' would benefit from being Frenchified). My fridge is quite well dealt with as a result (after the previous things went off) as I've finished off most of my veg. I'd love to say the same for my overly-stocked 'dried foods' cupboard. It just never seems to empty. I should make more cakes (and do something with all the barley).

How does milk go red?

I don't know. I was scared and put it back for my housemate to deal with.

Can I add my dregs of Maple Syrup - too small to do anything with but just a bit too much to throw away and a tub of white Flora left over from Christmas cake baking (may come in handy as a base for something?)

Maple syrup should be spooned and guzzled. Simple as.
