Standard Kitchen Items

So, Rachael Ray has a new magazine out, and it's honestly not that bad... design needs a little help but the content is good... attached to the magazine, there's also a website..

http://www.rachaelraymag.com/

One of the things on the website, and in the magazine as well, is a bunch of standard items that no kitchen cupboard or fridge should be without...

SPICE RACK
cayenne pepper
bay leaves
ground cinnamon
sweet paprika
dried rosemary
crushed red pepper flakes
dried thyme
dried oregano
kosher salt
black peppercorns
fine sea salt

FRIDGE
soy sauce
Tabasco sauce
ketchup
Worcestershire sauce
pure maple syrup
mayonnaise
Dijon mustard
milk
unsalted butter
large eggs
cheddar cheese
bacon

MISC.
garlic
onions (yellow, red, shallots)

CUPBOARDS
extra-virgin olive oil
vegetable (or canola) oil
chicken broth
dried pasta
red wine vinegar
balsamic vinegar
arborio rice
long-grain rice
canned tomatoes (whole, crushed, tomato sauce)
canned beans (black beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, etc.)
dried lentils
canned tuna (olive oil- and water-packed)
bread crumbs
granulated sugar
brown sugar (light or dark)
baking soda

I think I actually have most of those items in my cupboard at all times
- including a bunch of different hot sauces (not just tabasco) I'd also add in wasabi powder to the list of standard items...

What are some of your standard items that you are never without...
