Crushed red pepper (flakes, not fine grind)
Whole peppercorns
Garlic powder (fresh is best of course, but sometimes you're in a pinch)
Hot sauce of choice
Sesame seed oil
Soy sauce (unless you're allergic to soy, of course...)
Homemade teriyaki sauce (soy sauce, sugar, garlic, that's it)
Jalepeno's (they're almost non-perishable in a fridge...)
Croutons (they're already stale...)
A really good blender
A large broiler pan
A very large non-sloped high-wall frying pan
A small food processor/chopper for specific tasks like mincing onions to save your eyes. For just plain chopping/slicing, knives are always better.
A good colander (plastic ones SUCK)
Uh....that's it for now.
