There's also a liquor and wine cabinet but I won't bore you with the

There's lots of other stuff there but they come and go according to
what I feel like eating, sales etc. Those are the basics I'm never
without. Some things not listed that others might consider essential
staples: grits, Jell-O, ketchup.


Cheers
