[texas1928]

2. I use Swingline mostly

those are good staples.

[Cathyclysmic]

16. I believe you have my stapler.

But, but that's my stapler.

[no name no slogan]

23. Hey, I've got one of those too!

My administrative assistant gave it to me a couple Christmases ago, right before I got laid off. We're both big "Office Space" fans, so it was entirely appropriate.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

if anybody beat me to it.

Congratulations.

[Reverend_Smitty]

3. Baked Lays, Iced green tea

:P

[Cathyclysmic]

7. Sorry everyone!

So what did you put?

[dolo amber]

8. Coffee. Cereal.

Juice. Crap the kids eat. And then I whined that hedges and I have to fend for ourselves, which is patently ridiculous as we're the ones who do the shopping. :7

[Cathyclysmic]

9. Assloads of cereal

Maybe Beast Man should move in. He has been on this Corn Chex kick.

[dolo amber]

12. I've finally brainwashed Rin and Ruby

that stuff like Kix and the organic cereals (Kashi etc.) are the way to go. I fear I've gone too far though as Rin's favorite now is some kinda mega colon-blow bran flakes stuff. :D

[Cathyclysmic]

That Kashi has like 20 grams of fiber

some serious colon-blow.

[Cathyclysmic]

15. That Kashi has like 20 grams of fiber

some serious colon-blow.

[henslee]

Fermented black beans? Call me dense, but we buy canned black beans to use in various recipes. I don't think they are fermented. Are they?

[spinbaby]

49. Not the same

These are the Chinese black beans that come in a shrink pack at the oriental market. They're salty and you add them to stir fries.

[Cathyclysmic]

61. ohh... thanks! n/t

[philosophie_en_rose]

19. Rice, soy sauce, tortilla, cheese, peanut butter & salad mix from costco.

I make tortilla chip in the convection oven. Just pop a tortilla in the oven for a few minutes and it's tastier than any store-bought or fried chip.

I have rice and soy sauce, for when I'm too lazy to do more than push the button on the rice cooker.

I have salad mix from costco because it's organic and cheap (about $4 for a box crammed full of it).

I put soy sauce and mirin on the salad mix.

I sometimes put cheese on the tortillas. Sometimes peanut butter.

[Cathyclysmic]

26. Does Costco have tortillas?

I know they have the huge bags of tortilla chips(which we stock up on). I would love to cut some calories by baking tortillas. Do you salt or spice them any?

[philosophie_en_rose]

33. Yep. Big, huge bags of tortillas.

Very inexpensive, as well. I use a toaster/convection oven with a preset button that I use for tortillas. I don't salt them at all.

everything else is superfluous, apart from coffee.
